Ok, time to lay the issue to rest. Which absorbs more water?

I did an experiment where I took both products and soaked them for a sufficient amount of time, fully immersed in water. Then, I hung each product to drip dry for about 5 minutes and lightly shook, until no more drips were coming off the products. Then I weighed them both and subtracted the original "dry" weight from the final "wet" weight. Here are the results:

DRY weight
The Absorber - 6.2 ounces
Big Blue - 7.7 ounces

WET weight
The Absorber - 13.70 ounces
Big Blue - 35.50 ounces

Weight of water absorbed:
The Absorber - 8.4 ounces
Big Blue - 27.80 ounces

"Absorbtion factor"
The Absorber - 1.35x absorbency by weight
Big Blue - 3.61x absorbency by weight

If you do the math - the Big Blue towel absorbed OVER ONE LITER {correction: 800 Milliliters} of water!!! Case closed.

The Absorber

nice tech analysis!!
my eyes told me the same thing!

One might think an accountant would want to see the numbers! :)

wanabe - your eyes ? my arms. damn , the big blue got pretty heavy after folding and wiping ! :D heh heh

vrm vrm - nice going

lol...
o.k., so the numbers confirmed what my eyes and arms told me!

is that better guys?

Now does anyone know how the Big Blue compares to the Pakshak drying towel? The waffle weave?

Identical. Ranney Pak is my supplier.

This Big Blue Towel seems like the drying towel of choice, even over regular micro fiber towels.

Are there any Canadian owners who can tell me where to purchase one in Canada, on line or in person?

I hate dealing with Canada Customs.

The waffle-weave expands the surface by (they say) 7 times - that's why it's more effective than a regular micro-fiber.
