Tired of notepads that fall apart under the pressures of your adventurous lifestyle?

Meet ASCENT II—a space-inspired notebook collection that stands out in its class.

  • Crafted for resilience and peak performance, ASCENT II features a choice of aerospace-grade Titanium Alloy or Carbon Fiber covers. 
  • 100% waterproof pages made from pressed limestone paper, designed to repel oils and other liquids, ensuring your notes remain pristine in any environment. 
  • Paired with a rugged space pen that includes a NASA-approved ZERO GRAVITY Fisher Space refill, ASCENT II is engineered to excel in the most extreme conditions.

Our innovative magnetic design seamlessly integrates the notebook and pen, drawing inspiration from Earth’s magnetic field. The pen’s magnetic end allows for effortless storage within the iron coil, ensuring secure storage and accessibility in diverse work environments.

  • Robust Material Cover: Choose between titanium alloy or carbon fiber covers—materials inspired by the toughness of sports cars and spacecraft.
  • Stone Paper: Our eco-friendly stone paper is made from non-organic materials, ensuring no trees are harmed during production.
  • All-Weather Durability: Designed to withstand conditions like sweat, rain, mud, snow, oil, and grease, plus everyday wear-and-tear.
  • Versatile Writing: In a pinch, the stone paper can handle writing with a pen, key, or other objects.
  • Refillable and Replaceable: Easily remove pages and replace the inner pad to keep your ideas flowing.
  • Compact Design: Perfectly sized for on-the-go use, available in two convenient sizes.

Field-Ready Label Slot: Building on the feedback from our users, ASCENT II introduces a customizable label slot—a convenient feature that allows you to tag your notebook with labels for quick indexing. This practical addition helps you organize your notes more efficiently, especially when you’re on the move.

Introducing TiGuard: A new addition to the ASCENT line, the TiGuard version offers a robust titanium cover along with a titanium pen body, expanding your choices beyond the original carbon fiber. This new option provides unmatched durability and a sleek aesthetic that’s ideal for both outdoor adventures and professional settings.

Lighter FiberLite: Continuing our innovation in materials, the FiberLite cover on ASCENT II is now 23.9% lighter than our previous model. This reduction in weight is achieved without sacrificing the durability and strength essential for a field-ready notebook, ensuring greater portability and ease of use.

Sustainable Design with Ease of Use: The notebook features coil binding for easy page removal and replacement, making it a reliable choice for all your note-taking needs. Paired with a genuine carbon fiber or aerospace-grade titanium cover, this notebook is built to endure, ready to accompany you on countless adventures and help capture memorable moments for a lifetime.

  • Futuristic Design: Inspired by the sleek engineering of spaceships, our pen combines form with function.
  • Lightweight Durability: Crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum or titanium, this pen is both sturdy and light, designed for easy carry.
  • Magnetic Innovation: A built-in Neodymium magnet at the top ensures secure attachment to any magnetic surface.
  • Versatile Performance: Equipped with a Fisher Space Cartridge, the pen writes smoothly in any condition—whether it’s zero gravity, extreme temperatures, or wet conditions.
  • Long-Lasting Ink: Fisher’s thixotropic ink technology allows for writing that is three times longer than standard ballpoint ink, ensuring reliability wherever your adventures lead you.

ASCENT Pen is exclusively equipped with the Fisher Space Cartridge (Medium Black PR4). Renowned for its reliability and versatility, this refill writes seamlessly in zero gravity, extreme temperatures, and even underwater, ensuring unparalleled performance in any condition.

The cartridge in the ASCENT Pen is nitrogen-pressurized and sealed with a tungsten carbide ball and stainless steel point. This exceptional design allows it to write effortlessly in zero gravity, underwater, upside down, on wet and greasy paper, from any angle, and in temperatures ranging from -30°F to 250°F.

Our magnetic pen is thoughtfully designed to be the ideal partner for both the Pocket and Plus Notebooks. Its sleek, compact form fits comfortably in either size, ensuring you always have a reliable writing instrument on hand. Experience seamless note-taking with a pen that adapts effortlessly to your needs, no matter which notebook you choose.

Available in two distinct cover materials tailored to suit various preferences and styles: 

  • TiGuard exudes timeless elegance with its titanium construction, providing exceptional durability and a classic style that appeals to those who appreciate simplicity and robust strength.
  • FiberLite, crafted from genuine carbon fiber, is lighter than titanium and boasts a high strength-to-weight ratio along with excellent corrosion resistance. This option also features four unique designs—Galaxy, Flare, Starlight, and Meteor—each inspired by the breathtaking cosmic phenomena.

  • Pocket Notebook: Measuring just 10 x 7.6 cm, this compact notebook is ideal for on-the-go note-taking when space is at a premium. Small enough to hold in one hand while you write with the other, yet durable enough to handle any adventure.
  • Plus Notebook: At 16 x 10 cm, our larger notebook offers more space for detailed notes and sketches, perfect for your next journey. Its size remains convenient for carrying, whether tucked into a pocket on a bike ride through the woods or stowed in a backpack on a mountain hike.

Choose the size that best fits your lifestyle and start capturing your thoughts and ideas with ease.

Our Evolution in Note-Taking: Our journey began with the humble 1.0 plastic cover Nanobook, advancing to our first Titanium Cover Notebook 2.0, and then to the extraordinary 3.0 Titanium Meteor Crater Edition. Last year in 2023, we launched ASCENT 1.0, integrating feedback and technological advancements to meet the needs of our adventurous users. This evolution has now culminated in the creation of ASCENT II. This latest iteration not only continues the legacy of its predecessors but also introduces refined materials and design choices, including options for both carbon fiber and titanium covers, tailored for maximum resilience and style in outdoor environments.

Personalize your experience even after our campaign ends by adding extra Magnetic Space Pens, additional Notebooks, and Refill Pads through our post-campaign store. Ensure you have all you need for wherever your adventures take you.
