Review: These zebra pens are a joy to write with; they give you a smooth writing experience and I haven’t had any problems with air bubbles or ink flow.
The range of colours they come in is great; I just love the light blue. They are vibrant and actually show up against your paper, unlike some coloured pens I have used in the past which are so pale as to be unusable.
The designer versions are fab, with fuzzy texture and fun animal patterns on the barrel of the pen.
These pens all use a click mechanism to show/retract the nib, and it is a smooth and easy mechanism. I didn’t have any problems with it catching or sticking. They were really nice & comfortable to hold, and to write with. They look great, too.
The price point for these pens is great and I would definitely buy these to use at my desk when I need to make notes as I work. 5 stars.
I bet my little zebra would like these 🙂 she needs all the encouragement I can give her to get her to write, whereas her little sister is never without a pen or pencil in her hand.
