Your cart is empty. First released in 1981, Tortex Picks were originally intended to be a high quality replacement for tortoiseshell. Jim Dunlop’s trail-blazing creation became so much more than that, however, establishing its own identity and becoming the new standard by which all other picks are judged.
Building on the precision, consistency, and color-coded gauge system he introduced with Nylon Picks, Jim resolved to create a pick with a bright and snappy attack, superior memory and durability, and an improved grip. He chose Delrin as his base material and then spent more than a year developing a special treatment process to draw out its full potential. This treatment process is what sets Tortex Picks apart from all others, providing their unique grip-enhancing matte surface and aggressive attack. Finally, Jim expanded on his previous picks’ color-coded gauge system to create the bright and timeless palette that has become an industry standard. Because we stick to Jim’s original formula, Tortex Picks remain our bestselling pick line. And we still make them at the Dunlop HQ in Benicia, California.
With Tortex, Jim Dunlop launched a revolution, and the world of picks has never been the same. The turtle logo is instantly recognizable, and the vibrant Tortex palette has become a gauging shorthand for guitar players. Go into any music store and ask for Green or Yellow Picks—chances are, you’ll be shown a pack of Tortex .88mm or .73mm Picks. Countless musicians across the world, representing every genre and playing style, have chosen Tortex Picks to help them do what they love.

I recently tried out the Jim Dunlop Tortex Flow Standard 1.35mm Guitar Picks, and I have to say, they’ve quickly become my favorite. The 1.35mm thickness offers the perfect balance of stiffness and flexibility, giving me the control I need for both fast strumming and precise picking. The material feels smooth but provides just enough grip, so I never have to worry about slipping, even during intense play.What really stood out to me is how comfortable these picks feel in my hand. The shape is great, and the rounded edge glides effortlessly across the strings, which makes for a smooth and consistent sound. Whether I’m playing intricate solos or more rhythmic strumming patterns, these picks handle it all with ease.I’ve used a lot of different picks in the past, but the Tortex Flow picks seem to last longer without getting worn down, which is a big plus. They’re durable and hold up even during long practice sessions. If you’re looking for a pick that provides great control, durability, and comfort, these are definitely worth a try. I’ve already ordered more to stock up!

Has lots of flexibility, Love the bright color in size, Great pic for strumming but still has that good vortex feel and grips. Good value for money if you play a lot of rhythm. The accuracy is going to be more dependent on what you're used to playing with stiff or flexible picks.

This picks are great. I’ve been using the standard r Tortex Dunlop picks for 15 years because they’re amazingly well made, they just hold up for a long time after a lot of use. I recently saw the Flow style and had to pick up a pack of them. I really like the minimized shape with a slightly pointed picking tip. It helps with faster picking and “attacking the strings†with a lighter touch.I have extremely sweaty hands and the matte texture of the picks helps them stick to my fingers a bit better without getting slippery. Any guitarist who suffers from sweaty hands knows how frustrating a slick pick is to handle.You really can’t go wrong with a pack of these. If you’re a new guitarist or aren’t too sure how picks will affect your performance I’d also suggest looking at incorporating and trying different thicknesses as well.

These are pretty good but the Ultex Sharp yellow works better for me

This pick holds well, isn't slippery likes some and flows nicely on the strings. The tone is good. I tried other J 3 picks, and similar, but they were too small and to hard for me. The tortex is not floppy but it isn't a 3mm pick. It is very nice.

Cumplió las expectativas, es rÃgida, no se resbala, y su diseño permite un buen agarre y un punteo preciso y veloz. Sin duda muy recomendables (las uso para tocar hard rock y heavy metal).
