I purchased these for going on holiday abroad. I’m fed up that my towels and hotel towels don’t cover the sun beds completely and I end up burning my feet on the parts of the sun bed not covered. I went for the XL towels. I like that they feel soft. I am using them at home during this super hot bank holiday weekend. They make quick work of drying us of getting out of my the hot tub and unlike most towels they have not become like heavy bricks. We’re a tall family tallest being 6”6, shortest one 5”10. My only bug bare is that I wanted all 4 towels to be of the same Color scheme the orange one really doesn’t match the rest of the blue ones, but I wasn’t bothered enough to buy 4 towels individually at a higher price.
