SUTERA - Silverthread Waffle Towel California - Grown Pima Cotton, Quick Drying, Ultra Soft, Lightweight and Absorbent - Waffle Weave Design - Luxury Towel (Bath, Grey) 31"x57"

These bath towels are amazing! I haven't purchased any other sizes, but the bath towel size is perfect and able to wrap around several body shapes and sizes comfortably. I traditionally prefer thick fluffy towels, but these have changed my opinion. Even though they are thin, they are soft and they absorb water better than a lot of thicker towels. We have a son in college and we got him one to see how it worked out for him and it turned out to be one of the best things we bought for college life! He currently lives in a dorm with shared bathrooms/showers. These towels take up less space so they are easier to carry between his room and the shower, but like I said, they absorb better than some thicker towels. The quick-drying waffle pattern makes it a much easier to deal with the fact that he has to hang it in his room to dry. The antimicrobial properties keep it from getting musty smelling even if he forgets to hang it up to dry. He is also able to use it more than once with it still feeling soft and absorbent and smelling fresh. I HIGHLY recommend these for any college students for the aforementioned reasons, but I also recommend them for everyday home use as well. They are higher priced than a lot of towels, but they hold up very well. We got our first one about 2 years ago and it is still in near perfect condition despite frequent use. It does have some slight changes in its shape and is no longer perfectly rectangular, but it's only noticeable if you're looking for it. It would be nice if they were available in more colors, but the Grey is a nice color that goes well with a lot of other colors.

Great quality and we love the waffle weave. It works really well to dry not only a person, but dries quickly once finished using

Okay, so I'm doing some spring cleaning/remodeling/renovating, and I'm looking to get rid of and/or replace a bunch of stuff so I can have a little "new beginning". And I'm a big fan of technology. Even with something as low-tech as a towel. So, these towels are self-proclaimed to have "Innovative Silver Infusion (which) Destroys 99.9% Of Bacteria And Keeps Towels Fresh & Clean," while simultaneously being softer, lighter, stronger, and more absorbent. But are they REALLY all those things? In the interest of "full disclosure," I've only had the towel for about a week. And, first off, it looks like something your friend's grandma knitted. So, aesthetically, they fail the "modern" test, IMO. But how the towels look is significantly less important to me than how they perform. Especially if they can do everything else they claim. As for the silver ion technology making it less-susceptible to bacteria, I would LOVE it for that to be true; but is it? I am not a scientist, and I have no way of testing this. Any thoughts on this out there? Sutera rep? Anyone? And as long as I have the Sutera representative's attention (at least in my mind I do)... Grey and white are good choices, but how about some more color options? Lighter Grey, Black, Blue, etc. So, I don't know if it's stronger than a normal towel, and I don't think it's in my best interest to put it through some sort of stress-test to find out. It absorbs about the same as a regular towel, I think. The Sutera towel is definitively lighter, I will give it that. But does it dry more quickly? I don't think so. It seems to dry at the same rate as a normal towel, or even possibly slower. This is why I'm reaching out to you all with this review. Am I right about that, or am I crazy? Does anyone else find these towels to be not particularly quick-drying? Is it just me? Please let me know. K. Thanks!

High quality and very absorbing material. Great buy

Know what you’re signing up for. This is not the plush cotton towel you are used to. It’s thinner, but super light-weight (doesn’t pull your hair give you a headache while your hair dries ladies). But, it’s not plush soft. It’s not harsh, but gives a kind of exfoliating feel when drying. It’s HUGE compared to regular bath towels. Soaks up moisture quickly. Dries crazy fast. And best of all - NO SYINK. I can’t stand that musty mildew smell my old towels would get. I’m a fan! Ordered more.

I ordered these because I saw them on Facebook. I was tired of my towels not drying fast enough after each use. Although they are expensive, I decided to purchase these. Delivery was within a few days. When I received them and felt them for the first time, it wasn't soft at all. Very rough feeling. I put them in the washer/dryer hoping that this will soften them up. To my dismay, they did not. It actually felt rougher and to make matters worse, the towel did not even fully dry up the next morning when I used them. I do have to say that they are lighter than most other towels and seem to dry you off pretty well. But again, they were rough and could probably chafe if you are rough when wiping. I woudn't recommend you buying these at all, especially at this price point. I went out and purchased a few towels from Costco for about $10 and they were much softer and actually dried in time for the next use.

Pricey but amazing quality. Dries fast. Super absorbant. Lots of colors. Not elegant but practical and far healthier!

These are my favorite towels! I love the texture. They dry quickly and never smell. We had a set of bath towels for a year and I like them so much I bought more and some hand towels too.
