These 1.0mm Dunlop Big Stubby picks are a transparent candyapple red color - nice! They are a tiny bit shorter and fatter than Dunlop Tortex standard teardrop picks. And they're made of polycarbonate plastic and polished glassy-smooth. This makes them glide across the strings quickly and smoothly with almost no resistance. I prefer to have a bit of friction like Tortex does.
