I do not think falling prices means lower quality. It could mean lots of places have invested the technology so there is a lot more competition. You have to take each on a case by case basis but I am sure those making it volumes are focusing on lower cost towels. The cheaper towels tend to be lighter weight.

My Daughter got me a 24 pack from Sam's for my birthday and I have used them on all of my vehicles including my show car.

I sorted them and took two out for wheels because they did not look like they were as nice as the rest but 24 for ten bucks is a good deal.

I read all the time about you get what you pay for but in my opinion the so called quality towels are over priced.
I can detail my car with the towels from Sam's and not one of you on this forum could tell if I used them or a towel that cost ten dollars a piece and yes I have MF towels that cost me 10 bucks a piece.

I picked up a pack of 24 from Sams about a month ago. Just like Empire said on the first couple of wipes a small amount of lint came off, but after that they were fine. I wonder if you threw them in the wash before using them, if that might take care of the lint...just a thought

Washing MF towels before use has been recommended for years.
Not only to remove lint, but to remove any other debris that might be in them from the manufacturing process, the packing, shipping and handling of them prior to your purchase.

After having aged for 10 months, they are probably ready for use.
I would still wash them before using them.
