Soft Terryback Large Turkish Towel - Striped Terry Backed Peshtemal Bath Towel, Gym & Beach Towel, Thin Oversized Hammam Towel, Plus Size Fouta (Shades of Grey)

Excellent towels. Love the large size that will fit around most people with room to spare. These towels combine the smoothness of Turkish towels with the absorbency of terry cloth. Great for travel as it packs up small and can easily be used for showers or swimming.

Neat idea. Good-looking towel (my roommate commented on it as I took it out of the package) which has a lot less volume than a typical towel. Result: you can have plenty of body coverage (no worries about how to cover both top and bottom at once) without ending up with a really heavy towel that takes up loads of room in the wash and dry cycles, or even on the towel rail. With this one you aren't going to have to set that dryer going again to get the towel dry - it will be ready along with your shirts etc. It dries quickly while still being made of cotton and feeling like a home or spa towel rather than some kind of camping thing. Great for households that have too much laundry to do, and people that want to carry their own towel to the gym without having to lug around an immense duffel bag. Not for you if what you want is the feel of really thick fluffy towel. This is for when you want less fluff and less fuss.

This towel was exactly as described, with generous dimensions, classic colors and elegant Turkish style ends. I've also found it to be soft and absorbent, like something you'd find at a resort. I had originally purchased it for a beach vacation, but I think I'll end up using it in my master bathroom as it compliments my decor. It is also wide and long enough I think to be used in a hot yoga class on top of a mat. Very pleased with this purchase. Thank you!

Exactly what I wanted..light weight, compact, absorbent, natural fibers. Washed and dried as directed with no shrinkage. Just ordered another one and will likely systematically replace all my towels with this one.

Overall I'm impressed. This is not a typical bath towel. I would not expect it to have the same absorbancy or plushness here. With that said, as other reviews have mentioned, it absorbs pretty darn well. I am using it as a shower towel and it has work led great. Not to mention it's BEAUTIFUL!!! I Would say it's a tad expensive for what it is. $27 for one bath towel is more than I'll spend again but I'm considering it decor and bath towel haha!!
