Questions people ask

Does an aluminum clipboard get cold or hot outdoors?
Metal takes on the outdoor temperature, so it can feel cold in winter and warm in direct sun. Gloves or a board with a textured writing surface can make it more comfortable.
Is an aluminum clipboard much heavier than a regular one?
A flat aluminum board is usually only slightly heavier than hardboard. Storage box styles weigh more, especially when filled with forms.
