WOW! These towels are everything stated in their description. They are the softest towels I've ever used, they are quite thirsty and dry well, then take very little to dry themselves. But my favorite thing about these towels is that they are so lightweight! In my experience, after use towels are much heavier. Not these ~ these are almost as lightweight as when dry. They are the only towels I'll purchase from now on, and will be one of the favorite things I'll purchase for gifts. Thanks Everplush, great product.
