Purchased four different colors: orange, purple, green, & blue. The colors are bright and eye catching. Because of their bright colors, they’re difficult to loose in a messy pile of clothes or a suit case. To my surprise, these towels are much softer than most camping/quick dry towels. The large is a perfect size for children. The x-L would def be needed for teens or adults. The elastic loops are placed in the middle of the towel which I love because that way they don’t touch the floor when hung. I purchased these towels for our 4 kids to have color coordinated towels to make it simpler to identify AND so the towels would no longer slip & fall to the floor. Problems solved! The kids also love how soft they are. Ages 9, 7, 6, & 4. One of my children has sensory processing issues and still loves this towel! One star is deducted because the elastic loop broke from the purple towel the first week. It was an easy fix to sew back on, even for this non-sewer.
