From time to time we decide something needs a makeover, be that personal, at home or in the garden. Products are not exempt from this practice & Bic have decided to revamp the Bic Cristal Gel Pen. In its place, with a smart new modern look for 2014 is the Bic Cristal Gel +Pen.


The changes that stand out are the tip size, appearance of the barrel & grip. The very popular Cristal Gel pen has a 0.8mm tip that writes a 0.5mm line & has a plain transparent barrel with white text.


The new look Bic Cristal Gel +Pen has been updated by adding a metallic look to the colour
coded barrel. The tip has been reduced to 0.7mm & a ridged grip section has been added.
A popular choice for over 50 years this new style affords the same smooth writing
experience & is available with black, blue & red ink.
This is a five star rating pen
To be honest. These pens are spectacular as I have used them. I agree with your description 100%.
