Its also highly functional.
After an entire hour, it was still damp.
The thick jacquard chain-link dobby on the towels ends isnt super soft to the touch.
Any towel thats marketed as plush should always deliver in the coziness and quality departments.
According to our tests, the Frontgate Egyptian Cotton Bath Towel succeeds in both areas.
It has a thinner construction that can feel rough on the skin.
The Brooklinen Ultralight Bath Towel definitively falls into the latter category.
We noticed that the thin material doesnt retain moisture for very long, fully drying after just two hours.
We thought this was one of the thinnest, lightest bath towels weve ever experienced.
The texture felt slightly rougher after the wash test.
(Standard bath towels have a length of 55 inches.)

The reason behind this decision is two-fold.
Additionally, purchasing a towel set is usually a cost-effective choice.
The higher the GSM, the thicker and heavier the towel will be.
Avoid excessively cold or hot temperatures to best protect the longevity of your towels.
