The thickness and rather bulky appearance are good; However, "Ps" and "Ts" pops are not completely eliminated when speaking closer to a dynamic microphone. I wish the material was the same material as Shure's external mic-like pop filter. Smaller pores help eliminate those clicks and this product has slightly larger pores. But considering the price, it's good for what it is. A good solution, as with most YouTube and Rode pod mic owners, is to leave the full-length pop filter off to create more distance between them, but still leave part of the mic. The grille is open, which makes the mic look odd in live broadcast or recorded video. See for reference: twitch.tv/NIXFLIXX
