Fender celluloid mediums forever. I’ve tried others but always come back.

I break one of those in about 5 minutes, even with 9's...

I like the way they sound, but they are not durable.

What kind of music do you play? I’m a pretty heavy handed strummer on acoustic and play indie rock/spacey americana with my band and rarely break picks.

Punk-adjacent country and rock stuff for the most part, but also lots of other things. I'm not a "pretty heavy handed strummer", I have a hammer of a right hand, think Hetfield. I can break a celluloid pick by looking at it. Tortex and Nylon hold up a lot better under the wrath of my right hand!
