That has already been discussed in this thread. You would benefit immensely from reading through it.

Adams no longer sells the blue towel that is similar/identical to the one you review in your video. They have since, after the original post regarding Adams towels, come out with the white "double soft" microfiber towel, which I was careful to specifically mention in my post.

I was hoping someone would have had some experience with the towel you reviewed compared to the Adams "white double soft towel", but I guess I'll just go back to reading through the thread for the second time.

They used to have the double soft towel and then discontinued it and then brought it back. Same towel. IINM, the double soft towels are just two towels sewn together, so it's not any different in terms of touching the paint; it only feels different in your hand. All of Adam's towels are over priced IMO. I have 3x great white and 3x double soft that have all been relegated to trim or other non-paint duties.

That being said, I use a wide variety of other Adam's products and have been very pleased overall.

Not exactly. Here's the WHOLE story, including why it was discontinued and then brought back.

Adam's has always had that double-soft towel. Problem is, that double-soft towel changed when the manufacturer moved their plant. They were not able to recreate the same quality as they had before. The Rag Company use to carry that towel and called it "The Everest 1400." When the quality dropped and the towels started coming apart on customers, The Rag Company pulled them off their shelves, sent them back to the manufacturer and refunded anyone who wanted their money back. Now you know why they were discontinued for awhile.

The manufacturer has not to this day been able to recreate that quality, although they were able to keep them from coming apart (and wallah, those towels reappeared again). Thus, The Rag Company (and others), started carrying them again but The Rag Company changed the name of those towels to The Everest 1100 to reflect the drop in quality (no other reseller did that for their customers... imagine that ).

Last of all, the reason that Adam's no longer carries the blue towels is because The Rag Company has exclusive rights to sell those from that manufacturer.

Now I will leave it up to you Mr. Lynch to guess as to how I found out all this information but you can always buy them from whoever you want. Those of us in the know are going to save some money and get them a lot cheaper.

I was looking at the Everest 1100 on the website and figured it was the same towel. You clarified what I was looking for in my original post. Thanks for the clarification. As loyal as I am to Adams products, I'll be purchasing the towels from the rag company from now on.

See I thought the discontinuation was more recent like a year or two. But maybe it was earlier. Because I have some Adam's double soft towels from 2011 that are definitely not the same quality as the eagle blue towels I now get from The Rag Company. One of my old double softs is in pretty poor shape, and with the seams coming apart it's pretty evident they are just two towels sewn together. They started coming apart almost right away on that one towel, and I began looking for other sources for towels and found The Rag Company thanks to Junkman

Which is why I don't care for them. Why are 2 towels sewn together any better than just one towel of the same quality? I mean, sewing two of them together doesn't double the quality, unless you use Sprint math.
