Pros and cons

Pros

Three nib sizes provide options for finer details and broader colouring within one set.
The stated surface range makes the set suitable for projects across several materials, not just paper.
The listed uses span drawing, painting, marking out and writing.

Cons

The listing says water resistant but also states waterproof is false, so it should not be treated as a waterproof finish.
