These are perfect small towels to dry off at the beach - thin, good absorbency, dry quickly. These are our go to towels for kids camps and beach trips since they are light and take up so little space!These Turkish towels works great in our RV. They are surprisingly absorbent. The fold or roll compactly. The colors are pretty. They even make a nice light blanket in a pinch!I originally bought these towels as they would fit better into a gym bag. I find I prefer them over the heavier terry cloth bath towels. They dry faster, they are more absorbent and take up less room in the washing machine. Great value for the money.Soft texture right out of the package! I ordered these Haber brand Turkish towels and a set of Clotho brand Turkish towels, and these are definitely superior. They are nice and light without feeling cheap. I will be ordering more!*update*I have ordered a second set as the bath size as they have shown to wash up nicely and are the right size to use as a hair towel after showering. I have pretty long hair and it all fits in there just fine. For being a thin towel I see no difference in how well it soaks up the water from my hair compared to dingy old terrycloth. And because it’s thin it’s not heavy and tugging at my scalp.Just make sure you take the time to tighten the little knots on all the tasseled ends before washing. But this recommended for any brand Turkish towel.*update #2*Apparently I’ve become obsessed with my Turkish towels as I’ve now tried several different brands. The Haber brand is still the absolute best one I’ve found! Came back to order another set of the beach size which I like as a daily shower towel because it’s big enough to be around my body but still has room to dry my legs. All the old terrycloth towels I owned have now been donated to the animal shelter and I’m never going back! Turkish towels are prettier, easier to wash, and take up practically no space in the closet. Once you get used to them, they’re AWESOME!If you have never tried a Turkish towel you must. I was given one and wondered what I would do with it. I tried it as a bath towel first. I washed it first. It was very soft! For drying after a shower, I found it to be supreme! It dried better than a regular terry towel. Even better it dried very fast on the towel rack. That naturally is relative to the temperature but in about 70 degrees it was dry within a half hour easy. I wasn't really timing it. I like that it would have far less bacteria because of that. I wrapped it around me and yippee a towel that WILL wrap around me and stay. I have used it as a shawl and a blanket on the beach.I ended up buying a six more towels because of the size. We full time RV and these, even though they are much bigger than a regular towel, take up almost no space.Now... THIS towel... is made in India. It is not 'as soft' as the Turkish towel I first received. The instructions say softer after the third wash. I washed and dried them about five six times before I used them. Yes, they do get softer with more washings! In comparison to my original towel, while it isn't as soft, I think it dries better. Don't misunderstand that this is a scratchy towel, it isn’t, and it is softer enough, just not the cloud the original Turkish towel is but it makes up for it in drying ability.Love these towels. Only slightly smaller than expected, but only realized after that I hadn’t ordered the bath sheet size. Still really like these towels; very absorbent, light, and dry quickly.Overall I’ve loved having these. We used them at home for the pool all summer and I always grab these over regular beach towels. I brought them on our journey to Colorado and camping and we used them as blankets in the car, quick-drying bath towels at the cabin, shawl for a windy hike, pool/beach towels. They pack super compact and light which is great because I have to carry enough for our family of 5! The quick drying is great because they can be reused quicker and cuts down on laundry. Very stylish too!When I'm shopping for towels the last word I want to see is "plush." I've used Turkish towels that I like very much for the light weight, absorbency and the fact that they don't take up all the room in the washer. These towels are well made and nice looking, but they are quite light weight, and even after washing the "new" away, they aren't highly absorbent. I hope they'll develop better absorbency over a little time and use.Love theseTela de calidad, seca rápido
