Pros & Cons
Pros
The picks are sturdy and easily adjustable and produce a clean clear sound. The finger picks work for both left and right handers, but the thumb picks are designed for right hander only. The thumbpicks are the ones i find most useful - they wrap aroun... Read More
D’addario are my usual choice in guitar and mandolin strings. The metal ones are flexible and can be reshaped for better fit, or bent if necessary for smoother attack on the strings. I have a couple of really nice woven d'addario guitar straps.
The medium/large sizing options in the set cater to various finger sizes. They ensure a snug and comfortable fit.
These are pliable and easy to adjust. Stiff and really squeeze my fingers. They're comfortable to wear and sturdy.
They bend good enough around the finger size. The brass claws offer more wiggle room.
Cons
The new d'addario national is clunky, with a noticeably heavier thickness. The protruding part of the pick is shaped differently, wider and more pointy, and protrudes even more at a different angle.

I never learned picking style, it seemed unnatural to hold the pick they would just fly outta my hand as i played.

Didn’t want to invest in expensive ones before i knew i would use often

Packaging/appearance

I don't have anything negative to say, they came well packed, don't have any sharp edges, or protruding metal or anything, and ... Read More
You receive four medium/large brass fingertip and two thumb picks - one medium tortoise shell and the other large white celluloid.
Competitiveness
Since these are the first finger picks i've ever owned i can't compare them to other brands but i can tell you i'm satisfied wi... Read More
Definitely better than my local guitar stores option.
These are actually national brand picks, which, coincidentally, happen to be my choice for banjo and lap steel.
The thumb picks here could be a solution to that (better than some of the other gimmicks i've seen).
