Default Multi-Company Microfiber Towel Chart

Hi Guys! Some of you have been great in responding to my OCD'ish questions.. so I wanted to take a turn and contribute. I created a MF chart to help me decide which to use, but am posting for everyone's reference. I compiled what I could from most of the companies that our members seem to use. It's based on the majority of preferences for Korean towels. I did not include any MF's below 460 gsm (except a few for Glass) and only included the most common size. Highlighted in red are the ones I intend to try. Some data was not available. Feel free to leave a note if you can fill in any blanks or have a towel that is 460+ gsm and even better than these listed.

Hard To beat the rag company. You can get them cheaper on Amazon and they are the best out there.

Nice chart. I guess we don't grow enough microfibers in the U.S. to make the towels here.

I just ordered the Everest Ultra Plush. They look good. I have not tried those. I ordered 2, 3 packs. Anxious to compare them

Just get yourself some microfiber cleaner to put in your washer and never ever use fabric softener when cleaning and drying. They will last for years. And obviously wash them separate of other clothes or towels.

I always do a dedicated wash and use Micro Restore, no fabric softeners. I like dryer ***** on a light dryer cycle as well. Keeps them fluffy

Just received the Everest Ultra Plush from the Rag Company. 1100 in weight. Virtually identical to the Adams Triple soft. A little less money through Amazon. They are tied for the best I have used
