I never saw a thicker hand towel. These went well and above meeting my expectations.  Not only are they thick, but they are bigger in size then the average hand towel and I love that they come with a loop that I can hang them from a hook.  I bought these as a temporary fix while my bathroom is going through renovations (why I wanted to loop feature to hang by a hook) but mark my words I will be buying this set for my completed renovation.
