    I'll tell yo wht man. I'll revocer fropm drinkn tomorrow, and I'll take picks with mesurements and everything. These things are thick. Probably not like "ultra thck" CG towels, but they are 3x times the regular off brand MF towl thickness, and I've used thsee on all details, so they're much better.

    Funny that you mention these because I got back from Costco just now and saw these items. I really have to admit that those blue towels are super soft. I would even buy them and my MF standards are high, LoL. However, I don't really care for the chenille MF mitts.

    Well I promised pics, and here they are.

    I put it up against a CG waffle weave (the basic I believe), another CG towel that only has the thick nap on one side (the blue towel has soft nap on both sides), and the small yellow is one from the 30 pack for $16.99 at Costco as well.

    I would say the blue one is thicker (because of the double-sided nap) than all the other towels I have. Maybe on par with the waffle weave, but obviously much more plush. I will try to bring my calipers home from work this week and measure the compressed thickness of all of them. The last photo is both Costco towels folded 3x and on top of each other. The blue looks about 3x thicker, at least.

    I will say that they are very, very soft though, and for those of you that use the Costco yellows, they're like 10x softer than those.

    Heck, last year they had a similar package but it was 3 of the wash mitts and 1 of the blue towels for about the same price. I went bonkers and bought like 3 or 4 packs of these. The wash mitts have held up extremely well as I use them exclusively for ONR washes and run them in the washing / drying machine after each use. The little fingers on them are good for getting into nooks and crannies. I bought our Acadia last September and it's seen it's fair share of ONR washes this past winter. A steady diet of these wash mitts and blue Uber drying towels has kept it swirl free (it's black btw).

    Thanks for the tip Ronnie! I'm going back tomorrow.

    I've been using these blue towels a lot lately. I'd put them up against any of the "super duper ultra deluxe hyper plush" type towels I've gotten from anyone.

    No problem. I haven't used mine yet. Do the edges give you a problem when wiping down?
    I know they got that seam going around.

    I've noticed no problems. I agree, they'd be even nicer if they had a fancy hem around the edges, but for the price, I can do without ;->
