Brand is a matter of "batch" from China/Korea. Even within brand it will change from load to load.

I would recommend never buying a towel that you can easily see through.

Also lay a towel flat on a surface and bead some water on it. Good splits will instantly absorb the water. Bad splits will keep the water beads on top and then absorb them slowly.

Another problem is people wash MF with cotton. MF will pick the cotton lint up in the wash process. While it doesn't damage the towels it will be annoying.

You can damage MF by washing in fabric softener and or using dry sheets. The silicone in the FS and DS will coat the fibers and effectively seal the "cuts". This will cause the fibers to stop performing as they did new.
