I've been using Whitings 100's since I started tying a few years and I've been putting off buying a saddle or cape so gave the mini pack a shot. Lots of colors to pick from, a good spread of sizes in each pack. The barbules here are noticeably less stiff than the Whitings 100 packs, but for 10$ these are great for wrapping around parachute posts. I think I might upgrade if I was looking to palmer it around a body, though.
