The Rag Company - Dry Me A River - Professional Korean 70/30 Blend Microfiber Waffle-Weave Drying & Detailing Towels, Soft Suede Edges, 390gsm, 16in x 16in, Light Blue (5-Pack)

This towel is excellent for drying both hair and skin. It absorbs water brilliantly. It doesnt grab like some other microfiber towels and is not slick like some very poor ones I’ve tried. It is soft and supple with a deep waffle weave that has an excellent texture for working it effectively over both hair and skin. It is light enough to be a good camping or gym towel as well and dries quickly. This towel is 26”x 59” and I weighed it to be 14.6 ounces. It is made in South Korea, not China, and is made of high quality 400 GSM (grams per square meter) 70/30 polyester nylon blend. It is not as light as some other specific camping/gym towels but works much better and is much easier and more comfortable to use. It is light and compact compared to the much heavier cotton terry towels and I prefer the lightness and ‘feel’ of it to any other that I’ve tried. It is not as soft and plush feeling however as a nice thick heavy plush cotton terry bath towel but I still prefer it as my every day towel. My only gripe is that it only comes in white so if I cut myself shaving it shows the blood and I have to rinse the blood spots right away with cold water to prevent stains. It currently sells for a couple dollars less than the current $19.95 Amazon price on the Rag Companys web site but your order there has to total $40 to get free shipping otherwise there is a $6 shipping charge. They also always have coupons and sales that can help reduce prices further and they process orders much quicker than Amazon (usually the same day). They have a variety of interesting products and reaching the $40 dollar mark is all too easy. I generally compare their current prices on their web site and their prices on Amazon, factoring in shipping, before deciding on where to place my order. The Rag Company is the first place I shop when Im looking for high quality microfiber products. The only other reasonably good quality extra large microfiber towel I’ve tried is the one by Fina. Like the Rag Company towel it is made in Korea and has a waffle weave. It is a similar size being just a little wider and a little shorter 29”x 55”. It is an 80/20 polyester nylon blend. No GSM value is provided. I weighed it to be 13.8 ounces. Currently it sells on Amazon for $16.99. The weave is not as deep and the material is not as soft and supple as the Rag Company one. It is not quite as comfortable to use. It did do a very good job of drying hair and skin. It also dries quickly. I liked it but it was a slight disappointment after using the Rag Company one. They were fairly close though. The Fina comes in four colors to the Rag Company’s just one in off-white. I got the coffee which I really like and blood blends in well so I don’t have to rinse it out if I get a little on it. If the ultimate in light weight and compactness (with some comfort) in a full size towel was critical to me for camping or gym I’d go with the Fox Outfitters MicroDry Towel in Extra Large (30”x60” – currently $24.99 on Amazon). It has a suede like texture, is okay in comfort and only weighs 7.6 ounces. It does tend to ‘grab’ a bit and is not as comfortable or as easy to use as the above waffle patterned towels. Unlike the above towels the Fox Outfitter towels come with a handy mesh stuff pouch and have a loop for hanging them up to dry. They are made in China. Microfiber products ideally should only be washed with other microfiber material (or other non linting materials) to prevent lint from other clothing sticking to the fibers. Fabric softener should not be used as it will coat the microfibers and reduce absorbency. Use a mild detergent without bleach. Dry on low or no heat or hang to dry.

No lint would recommend.

Great absorption and high quality rags. I can dry my entire truck off with about 5 rags.

Really nice rags, perfect for when a waffle-weave is called for when polishing a car.

I really like this towel. I purchased it to use for waterless wash on my ceramic coated car. They have been great. When used with a good ceramic waterless wash spray, they get all the gunk with one big swipe. I use the quarter fold method and flip over to the lightly buff out any residual cleaner. No streaks, no scratches. I ended up buying a bunch more. Great towel and excellent value!

After second use it began peel off from the edge

Upon my first impression I was impressed with the size and feel of these drying towels. I washed the towels by themselves then air dried before the first use. I quickly was impressed with the absorbency, just toss flat onto the hood and slide across and all water is gone. I have a large Toyota Sequoia and I was able to dry the entire vehicle with one towel. I used the second to do the windows. I have washed them twice so far and no issues. These are soft and will not scratch the paint, very happy!

No complaints

I enjoy most any of these towels. I prefer the plush more but this towel works very well.

Perfect towel for auto glass. Well made and durable. Soft and absorbent. I use two to do all the car windows, inside and out. Use with a good quality window cleaning solution.
