I call it food for thought because I feel that I could spread a little light on this product.No, it is not like a regular thick towel we have been brought up to know as a towel.I might not feel or look like those towels as well.However, what it is is a whole new out on bath towels and going the best experience in use.I know, whatever people said that may be true for them, and my opinion is true for me. What I've found what a great light weight option for the newest revolutionary products.I don't have to worry about my towels smelling molded after a couple of uses, which made me wash them kicker, all because of the time it took to dry those bulky towels.Let me get to the point.Thin good for drying quickly after use.Absorbent.Has a long usage life before washing.Cute many colors, inexpensive, can be recycled ♻️, not traditional but at this point who cares, the old way of looking at the decorative and functional use of the old towels brings in much appreciation for the type of towel. Easy to pack and goes anywhere even on trips, long drives in car and great for camping.I got the dark grey set and I really do like it.Life has changes in so many ways... don't forget to change your towels. Less bulky soft, absorbent and does the job.
