microfiber bath towels?

have you guys seen any microfiber bath towels that are made of the same material as the terry style microfiber drying towels?

if it's good enough for my car, it should be good enough for me

if you want a high quality microfiber drying towel that is the size of a bath towel, go to your local k-mart and pick up the gold extra-large microfiber drying towel (6 sq feet) as i've said many times before. not to mention... it's only $8.99! it's currently replaced my waffle weaves as it's alot softer...

How plushy do you want it? Would something like this do?

Here's where you want to go: http://neatitems.com/micro.htm

If you scroll down a little, there are 3 categories you want to look at: Luxury of Reya, which is kind of like the Monster Fluffy, the Microfiber Terry, and the Microfiber Waffle Weave. These were a little pricey last time I looked at them.

Wow! $50 for 1 bath sheet seems like quite a bit of money. I wish DF Towel made bath towels. Their towels are SO soft.

While you can find a few on the market Polyester MF bath towels have never really been very successful because of the way they feel. Your car has no nerve endings so it doesn't matter but when it comes to a bath towel for bath use most people find them "scratchy" or grabby and prefer a softer feel.

I have these and they're great towels but still kind'a small for a bath towel.

Great find Mike! Now I just have to convince myself to pony up the cash.

Yeah, but they are huge. Per square inch the cost isn't out of line with other premium mf suppliers.
