Very, very soft! The size is exactly right, big enough to cover the whole body! The weight allows the towels to dry quickly and they are super easy to wash and have very little lint in the dryer screen...that's a plus!  They will last awhile. I love these towels. The gray colour is absolutely gorgeous, but beware of the taupe, its a bit on the green hue. The gray is exactly the gray in the picture and description, Dove gray! Beautiful!
