I like the National Geographic paper. I gave it a thorough test on a weekend trip in the Apostle Islands by printing four maps, single-sided only, and carrying them in a stack under the bungees on my foredeck. I let them get thoroughly wet, shuffled them occasionally, and deliberately scratched one wet map with my fingernail. The paper held up well, with no obvious effect from the scratch test, and the maps remained readable. However, there was some bleed-through and some transfer of ink between maps, so I do not recommend printing both sides.
