Just picked up 6 of these to try out. Didn't realize they don't with a cap, so they are similar to a Markal. To remove the condom that they come with, just use a box cutter or razor blade of some sort with gloves on and you're good.
I melt mine down into chapstick containers and they work perfectly. Nice stealth streak that can write on any surface in any weather condition.
I may have gotten the wrong color (red doesn't show up well on any surface that isn't white or yellow), but I have been disappointed with this marker. It's worth a shot for the money, but save them for the train.
What can i say that other people haven't? Theyre smooth, (not as smooth as the ap streak but still good) theyre bright, and they write on wet sh*t. Cop the silver, because that seems to be the best color the have. Its soooo butter, even more than the other colors. Another high quality product from ap.
So I bought one of the silver hobo markers based upon recommendations here in the reviews. For $3 I'd say it is totally worth it. It is not as smooth / buttery as the AP streakers but it's silver, and it is smoother than the other hobo markers IMO... it's a pretty decent silver too. From far away it just looks gray but if you get close and have light shining on it at the right angle it's about on par with typical silver paint. The advantage to this vs. simply using a small mop with some silver paint is that it has no smell and you don't gotta worry about leaks. The main complaint that I have about it is the annoying scab that you have to peel off every time you wanna use it, because as far as I know there's no easy way of getting it off, and you end up with silver fingers unless you're wearing gloves. My fingers are silver as I type this. Overall I am going to give this product a 4 out of 5 stars due having to deal with the annoying scab and also due to the fact that these don't have a cap of any sort so if you carry it in your pocket you're gonna get everything in there silver unless you keep it in a little ziploc bag.

Silver is the best no doubt. Got a black and silver and the black is much less greasy than the silver. Both write very well in the rain and on wet surfaces.
