These towels are the best.  They arrived a few days ago, in time for my Saturday, Memorial Day cook-out and pool party.  I was so pleased at the size and thickness of the towels.  They didn't get soaked and limp as we wrapped the children to dry them (usually this takes 2 of my towels). They are soft and drink up the water quickly, yet they dry off quickly. After use we hung them over the back of the chairs - when needed again they were dry and ready to do their job again.  Another plus was the different colors, everyone knew which towel was theirs, no more fights about who took the other's towel.  I'm glad I purchased two sets.  I just might get a couple more, my pool gets lots of use.
