These towels are wonderfully absorbent, soft and fast-drying. However, they are *very* large (not always an advantage when you are a petite woman- the bath sheet can wrap around me twice and is hard to handle). They are also very stretchy, which is not something I expect from a towel and is awkward when I dry myself as I normally do. Finally, I find them not as cozy as I might wish because they stretch enough to allow air through the weave. They're not thin, but they are well-ventilated. After using them for a couple of weeks I almost wish that the bath sheet was half the size but twice the thickness, as that would just be easier for me to manipulate!
