My son uses this every day after rinsing off at surf camp, he throws this one to absorb the water and take off his wet board shorts before he gets in the chilly A/Ced car. It’s not as soft as I imagined it would be but I’m hoping the toughness of the material means it will last a long time through many washes and won’t pull as much as softer materials do. Be aware that this color is a thick Turkish cotton-like material, not a towel material. I chose this material because we live in FL where it gets quite hot. It’s still quite absorbent. I hope in the future, they make a hybrid version that’s terry on the inside and turkey cotton on the outside. My son chose this color. I initially worried he wouldn’t like it because it’s like a dress but he actually gets lots of compliments on it. I like that the pockets unbutton so he can stick his hands inside to untie the shorts.
