Ultimate picks (for me at least)
I have a problem that my nails don't stand steel strings. I've used different type of finger picks, metal and plastic. The problem has been that one doesn't have finger tip touch to string with them and one can't make a brush strokes. These Alaska's really give great opportunity to play like with nails. Surprisingly they are durable too and one can play a long time with them. It's important to find a right size. I have small hands but size M is best, I don't need to do any adjustments as size S need. One can adjust the shape easily with nail cutter and file. I honestly can't play any more with out these small plastic things. It's worth give them a try if you've got similar nail wear problems.

A natural feeling option....
The most natural feeling finger pick option....The key to successfully using these is to take time to modify the fit before the first use, even though it does take a bit of time filing etc. I’ve found about 1-2mm of nail growth is adequate to ensure a secure fit. Once that is done they are surprisingly natural feeling and offer a tone that is very close to that of the finger nail. I don’t see myself ever using these exclusively over my natural nails but in times when more volume is required or a nail is broken, these things really are a revelation. Note: I found the sizing to be a little smaller than the guide suggests. I would encourage those in doubt to order a size larger. I have slender fingers and a medium would be pinky sized.
