ONSEN - Bath Towel - Waffle Weave - 100% Supima Cotton - Lusciously Soft, Durable, Fast Absorbing - Quick Dry - Ultra-Soft - Plush & Absorbent - Luxury Bathroom Towel - 31" x 57" - Cinder Grey

Most amazing towel ever! Very light, soft and extremely absorbent. Seems to magically wick the water away after a shower or bath it and dries fast. Will never go back to a regular towel again, not even the luxury towels can compete. Would be nice if they had some brighter colors.

I first bought a full towel set from Onsen's Kickstarter launch earlier this year which included this bath towel, a hand towel, face towel, and an enormous bath sheet towel. First impression out of the package was pretty underwhelming, I liked the cinder color and the towels are very generously sized, but they are very thin compared to what I've been using, and the material didn't seem very soft.Washed the bath towel and started using it- I am totally sold on these now, and bought another bath towel when I found out they were available again so I don't have to use any other towel ever. They are very thin yes, but once you use these for a little while they are amazing. I don't use thicker towels anymore, and I am totally fine with that. Honestly I'm debating bringing my Onsen towel with me on my next trip so I don't have to use the hotel towels. We'll see if I have space in the suitcase.I literally did not know a towel could leave your skin totally dry as I've never had that experience except with paper towels for my hands, but for me this towel absolutely dries me off. The towel also dries off very fast as advertised, though I only shower once a day so that's not as important for me. I do need to use the hand towel for my medium-long hair, as the bath towel on its own isn't sufficient to dry my hair enough.The bath towel is a good size for me and goes past my knees, I hate shorter towels- I am 5'2". As I said above, I also have their bath sheet which is too large for someone my size, but if you're taller than me like most of the population, either size would probably work for you!TL;DR Despite a 'meh' first impression, this is the best towel I've ever used and it is totally worth trying out.

Best towels I’ve ever had.

This is a surprise! Bought only because the NYT Wirecutter recommended it, and I kept failing to find a good, reasonably priced Egyptian Cotton not-so-plush towel, I never expected to actually be happy with a waffle weave. But I tried it, and thought "that's not exactly terrible," and so sorta kept trying it, and the thing kept drying me. I now admit it's soft, absorbent, drys quickly, and I'm no longer shopping for an alternative bath towel.

Not durable. Had to replace mine less than 9 months in. There are better waffle towels that can last years out there
