The thickest towels are 900 gm per square meter, but they are so thick they are uncomfortable. A useful towel is about 700 and this is the weight of the ones I am looking to replace. I measured these Denzi under 500. I found them to be ridiculously thin. I found them to have poor absorbency at first, so I washed and used them four times. I noted two things: there was an enormous amount of fluff coming off in the dryer screen so I bet they will lose weight quickly. I noted that the absorbency was still poor, and to check this the best way is to pour water on glazed tiles or glass - they couldn't mop up the water even after three passes. I measured the hand towels at one inch less length and width than the specs. The only good thing I found was the color - the rose was true to the photos and a lovely color. The price is slightly lower than 700g towels, but per pound these towels are very expensive.
