    Really nice journal feels good in hand love the mission, just not the pages. Also: not blue, so more like the picture than the description

    I bought this journal for my boyfriend to take with him on a nine-month work rotation overseas. I wanted him to have something to write in, but it also needed to be lightweight, durable, and ... well ... masculine. This is all of those things - he loves it. It's put together very well, the pages are unique, and the journal itself is lighter than my iPhone! (Yes. I weighed them!) I'm going to get a larger one for myself, since I won't be traveling. I also love the way the paper absorbs the ink, some of the pages are thicker than others, but it adds to the journal's character.
