MICROFIBER TOWEL COMPARISON

Not all microfiber towels are created equal. We collected microfiber towels from Walmart, Target and K-Mart. They’re “all purpose” type terry microfiber towels. We wanted to compare them to our 16″x16″ All Purpose Microfiber Towel. We put the towels through three tests; a touch test in which we compared how the towels felt to the touch, a weigh test and an absorbency test. We made a video of the test:

Here’s a quick breakdown of the results:

Vendor	Size	Weight	GSM	Softness (1-10)	Grab (1-10)	Absorbency (1-10)
MW.com	16×16	54 Grams	337	8	9	9
Walmart	14×14	36 Grams	293	8	3	8
K-Mart	14×16	48 Grams	332	7	3	5
Target	14×14	36 Grams	293	5	7	3

Clearly our towel performed the best. Keep this in mind the next time you see microfiber towels available at a retail store. Are they as absorbent? Will they grab and hold as much? Are they as heavy? Will they last as long?
