These have been my favorite picks for well over a decade now.For years, regular shaped picks would shift around in my sweaty hands, and eventually go flying.But I never drop these. And the material has the kind of attack I am used to... a little softer than celluloid, but a lot harder than nylon.They do wear quicker than I would like, but that's just the nature of the beast.

Good quality picks. I like that the pick has 3 points that can be used. The thickness works great on my guitars - though pick thickness and material is a very personal decision. Works for me. Good value to buy so many at a time.

The 1.14mm Jim Dunlop Ultex pick is one of my favorite mandolin picks. These picks are very durable and have the kind of smooth texture that glides easily across the strings. I like the way they feel in my hand and the mellow tones they help me produce... all for a very reasonable price. Full disclosure: I am also a fan of the very comparable Golden Gate triangle picks.

I am a pick collector. Whenever I see an interesting pick, I buy a few of them. I have about 300 picks made of everything from wood, aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel, onyx and an assortment of all kinds of brands and materials. Having said that, I have 6 different picks that are my primary picks. These Ultex are turning out to be one of my favorite. They sound crisp and clear without being too bright. They feel fast and smooth on the strings. As a bonus, they are tough and durable. I love them!

I love the Dunlop Ultex picks and wanted to try something different. The sound is great from these but they are much larger than I thought. If you want a large pick that's super easy to hold these would be perfect, but for more precise picking I would recommend the Duncan Ultex regulars or sharps.

Exactly what I wanted. I like the tri point picks for gripping.

I like the shape of this pick. It does a nice job of picking through several different dynamics. It like how you can loosen up your grip a bit and pick lightly. Excellent tone all around. It’s big size feels secure in your hand. Bonus is there’s no wrong way to hold it.

I'm always trying new picks as part of my effort to improve my tone. I keep coming back to these.They are easy to hold, nice and stiff. Not too pointy not too round. I feel that I have better volume with these as opposed to a standard "teardrop" shaped pick.

The .73s are comparable to the Fender 346 Mediums in size and thickness and stiffness.THE BEST THING ABOUT THESE: The do NOT wear out. I mean, I've been gigging and practicing on electric with the same pick for YEARS now. Unbelievably durable. They may wear down if you're hard strumming an acoustic guitar.THE WORST THING ABOUT THESE: When you drop them, they disappear. Dunlop, you need to colorize them, if that doesn't negate the benefits of your formula.THE STANDARD THING ABOUT THESE: They have similar slippery/grip to most other smooth picks. Again, comparable to Fenders.WHY I LIKE THIS SIZE PICK:As more a rhythm guitarist, I find these big triangle shapes are the easiest to hold onto. You can lessen your grip on them without them flying out of your hand. It also makes it easier to hold the pick with three digits instead of two, which can come in handy at times. Not a problem to flip back and forth between two and three finger grip, so you can go from a three grip for rhythm to a two grip for soloing pretty easy.Also, three corners means you basically get three picks in one. Before I switched to the Ultex I was using Fender Mediums. Once one corner wore down, I'd just rotate to the next corner. But the Ultex material makes that moot, because it's just not wearing down.

The Ultex compound is just rough enough to maintain an effortless grip and smooth enough for strumming and intricate picking. As others have noted elsewhere, it's the closest thing to real tortoiseshell they've tried. Not all 1.0 mm picks are created equal - this one feels light and the attack is relatively gentle as opposed to some other models/plastics eg the Nylon or Tortex.The triangle shape is a revelation, sitting somewhere between a traditional teardrop shape and a large flatpick. Makes rhythm parts smooth and effortless but still has enough of a point to get definition out of every note including lead parts. No worrying about where the pointed end is - they're all the same! Larger surface area helps maintain grip. I take plenty of spares but have yet to drop an Ultex pick!
