For years now the Alpha gel has been famous for its squishy, soft gel grip. All those other "comfy" grips seem like hard rubber compared to this one. Squeeze it and it'll bring an instant "Oooooooo" to your lips. It's the same gel that's famous for keeping an egg from breaking even when dropped from a 5ft height. Uni has realized the popular appeal of its gel grips and has now adopted it for its Jetstream line in Japan. Many of our customers will be ecstatic because they have always wanted the liquidly soft Alpha gel grip combined with a superior writing performance such as that from the Uni-Ball Jetstream. Jetstream is popular both in the US and overseas for its smooth writing, dark lines, and smear resistant technology. The body for these pens is made of brushed metal. When held to the light you will find a textured look on the metal, giving it an almost wood-like appeal. Silver, black, and pink body colors are available.
