We live in Florida and towels never seem to dry on the towel bars and hooks after bathing so we like lighter weight towels that dry faster.  We also like soft cotton thirsty towels that wick the water off quickly apre bath or shower. These towels are just right for us.  The his and hers aqua and green color combo work great in the mostly white bathroom and make the whole space look light, bright and clean. I just washed them and they turned out very well.  The first wash resulted in a lot of fluff in the dryer lint filter but the towels remain are very soft with just the right amount of fluff.  An additional plus if they were quite affordable!  I'm very happy and would buy them again.
