I love the texture of my towel. It's so soft and dries me off surprisingly quickly. I ordered specifically for a trip to Hawaii because I wanted a towel that would be able to fold up into a convenient size to take on hikes, and it really does fit super well into a backpack and unfold into a large towel (I ordered a L and a S). The small is perfect to take to the pool. The colors are vibrant and I definitely would recommend if you're on the fence. I will say, it's already threading along the edges and I've only had it for two weeks, but considering the price, this was expected. A great deal!
