Review on Drying Towels Microfiber Absorbent Scratch by Seth Waldron

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Very large but thin and questionable microfiber

When I first saw this I said to myself I must have them! I've spent hundreds of dollars trying to find the perfect (or near-perfect) microfiber for a variety of household and car wash/dryer applications. So I used a variety of microfibers from Costco (yellow, blue), Adam's polishes (seven or eight different styles), The Rag Company (four types), Chemical Guys (five types), and cheap WalMart, Target, and the Dollars save on computer. microfibers. They all ranged from probably 200 gsm to 1500 gsm and ratios of 70/30, 80/20, 85/15, 90/10. The closest they come to a target microfiber is a very very low pile and a tight weave that is very large. I couldn't find any GSM or relationship but I suspect it's in the 150-200 GSM range as it's very very low and thin. However, the weave is tight enough that you don't see much light. It has a poorly sewn nylon hem. Pros: It's a huge, dense weave, and somewhat inexpensive for its size. Cons: Very, very thin, low pile, probably low GSM, high polyester to low polyimide ratio, sewn nylon edge feels poorly sewn. After all, this microfiber is not for me. My use was to dry my car quickly. I prefer Adam's Jumbo Plush Drying Towel or Chemical Guy's Woolly Mammoth.

Pros
  • Large drying towels
Cons
  • Don't really like it, everything is fine
