They kept same part number but switched the product from synthetic to cotton patches. I have no desire to add lint to my guns, I'm use these to clean my guns not dirty them. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | ||

Weird, I actually prefer cotton patches. I don't recall ever having any issues with lint left behind and feel they wipe better that the synthetic patches. That said, though I've been preferring and using cotton patches since 1994, admittedly, I've have never purchased Hoppes brand patches either.

I prefer cotton also. I have time on my hands so I make my own from old t-shirts. I haven’t bought commercially made patches in over a decade. | |||

Prefer cotton myself and I know that any hairs left behind will burn. Not sure about synthetic. Cotton holds liquids and crud better then synthetic IMO. | |||

I always thought the synthetic patches were comparable to wiping your keester with wax paper. | |||

Cotton for me. Old T-shirts and socks if the need arises. | |||

Yep. Cotton. Often make my own patches out of old T-shirts. I use surgical towels for other gun maintenance. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Well I guess I'll keep/try them out since everyone seems to like them. Worst case scenario I'm out $10 I guess. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Cotton is all that I will buy and use!! | |||

Wait, what? |
Not a fan of synthetic- it doesn’t absorb like cotton does, just kind of smears stuff around. I’ve never noticed a lot of shmutz building up from cotton. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Heck, I didn't even know what kind are the patches I bought. I figure if it says patch for whatever caliber, it's good to go. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

That's a bold strategy, cotton. Let's see if it pays off. ( Hey, is there an echo in here?) ____________________ | |||
