My favorite beach towels, ever. Excellent stitching; plush microfiber material. My little nieces and nephews use them as beach blankets and love to wriggle around on the soft/smooth material. I machine wash them on auto-temp (probably cold) with Clorox 2 (bleach for colors) and liquid fabric softener. It is SO BIG that it even handles my 6'2" body with great ease. It is used around chlorine pools A LOT and has been in contact with the water over and over, but still retains it same rich colors.
