Drying towels: is the PFM by Griot's still the best?

I have twistress and PFM and the difference is noticeable but if you are really really low on money then you will be happy with the twistress. If you have the extra change get the PFM for sure.

@bfielder : if you like the Twistress, you’ll be in love with a PFM after you use it just one time.

Agree with you. The Gyeon is nice but the PFM is still better. Like you mentioned it holds more water. Not to mention the two usable sides for the PFM.

They are nice. They don't hold as much water as the PFM since they only have one usable side. One towel is about right for an average size vehicle. Two for anything larger. You will like them.

I have washed the entire top surface of my Formula,and dried it from hood to trunk in one fell swoop with a PFM. Got to the trunk,and went back to the front on the other side. Zero streaks and scarcely damp. Same thing with my wife's G8. Unreal!

I gave the smaller big blue towels away as well. They are similar to the everest sold by the rag company. Not really of fan of them. The bigger one is the same as the small one. It gets really heavy as it soaks up water and it is not easy to manipulate with the size. It is not as flexible as the PFM.

Seems like you missed out and Saturday was the end of the sale.

The Rag Company has "B grade Double Twistress" towels for sale right now. Basically the Twistress but upgraded to 850GSM at 20x24" as opposed to the original 550GSM at 16x24". A 4-pack is $28.
Still not *quite* as magical as the PFM, but for the price difference, I surely don't mind.

PFM all the way! It's the only detail related item that i am ok with paying the premium.

PFM is my "go to" drying towel. Thanks for the comments on the Gyeon Silk Drying towels. I was on the fence about getting some but I will just stick with my trusty PFM's.

I dont see the 25% on their site, can you link, please?

**MrOneEyedBoh** · 07-01-2018, 05:15 PM

We missed it.. It was Saturday. Id assume they're going to have something possibly on the 4th/.

**JMak97008** · 07-01-2018, 05:17 PM

Wow, a single day sale...really? I think I'm done with both sites...even with the sales we're still paying a premium.

Compare to the big A store. You will be getting a better price when they have sales. Plus I can't tell you how many times I received a fake from China from big A in duplicate package.
