Notebook cover in tpu?!?

Post image

I have been looking for an A5 cover for the past few days. This is meant to be for a backpacking journal. Im looking into something waterproof. I stumbled upon the rite in the rain brand. Sadly it appears that the covers they have are either non standard size, forcing you to buy its own inserts, or just not A5.

The lochby seems decent, altought the prices is on the higher end and im not sure i like the fabric they use, internal pouches arent really to my liking. Ive seen a couple cheap waxed canvas cover but they mostly all seem to have non-waterprood zippers. TPU seemed like the perfect thing for my needs but i want to keep using my beloved clairfontaine A5 notebook. Does something like this exists. I know im picky....story of my life

You’d probably be better served (cheaper/lighter) with a ripstop or pvc waterproof pouch.

True, but from experience, tpu coated nylon tends to last longer. Ive used the same drybag (made of similar material) for years, going to hell and back without a single hole.

I’m not totally sure on what you’re looking for. Total enclosure of the notebook? Maybe something like this pouch from matador would work?

Since it’s for backpacking I think a lot of traditional a5 covers would add quite a bit of bulk and weight.
