I must admit, at first, I was hesitant.  Others were complaining that these towels were too thin.  But being the cynical shopper that I am, I took a chance and purchased TWO SETS.  I am very glad I did.  At first, these towels seemed thinner, but the proof is in the quality.  The towels are not at all flimsy, and do not pull as easily as the heavier dense towels.  They are also very absorbent and feel amazing against wet skin.  Don't be fooled by the density.  These towels are of excellent quality and will hold up to the test of time.
