A Very Positive Review I Didn’t Expect to be Writing… and a Green Yak in the washing machine
I had gotten these for one purpose only – to use with handwashing. Roll the sweater in a white towel, put it out to dry on my new super-duper drying rack. Simple. Nothing special required, no expectations other than basic cotton towels. Cheap. White. Who cares, right? So imagine my surprise when these turned out to be nicer than expected – so much so, in fact, that they got promoted to potential shower towel, and then that worked out so well, I’m now using them daily. I’ve dumped my much thicker and not wearing well Turkish towels, and they got the new handwashing gig. I’ll be using these for showering to see how they hold up, but a few weeks in, a few washes behind them, and they’re worthy of a positive review.UPDATED TO ADD: I decided to get the green ones since they were on super sale. Same towel, should be as good, and I don’t use towels for bathroom decor, so I don’t care (as much) about what color they are (I don’t do dark towels ever – many reasons). I’d describe the green as a grey-green, not unpleasant, but if you do care about the color, be aware that these are nothing close to a warm green. It also darkened a bit after washing, go figure, and it definitely needed to be washed before use.The biggest issue with these latest towels is the amount of shedding from one gentle soak (to get rid of odor) and then a gentle wash. Yowza! It looked like someone washed a green yak in there. The white towels didn’t shed at all this way, so I was totally unprepared for my newest washer pet. I had stupidly added some other small pieces in with the towels. BIG MISTAKE. Now they’re covered in what looks like green yak fur, too. The towels did come out just as fluffy and usable as the white ones, so not changing the rating, but caveat emptor – expect shedding, wash these alone at least once, and do NOT wash them with anything else.

Lighter Weight But Really Soft
A while back, (May 2019) I purchased three different brands of washcloths trying to find the “best” for me. These from Amazon were the cheapest and, not surprisingly, they are thinner and lighter weight than the others. For reference, the mid-priced cloths are 650 gsm while the most expensive are 900 gsm. I don’t know what the gsm for these would be, but I feel confident saying it is most likely 500 or less.The only thing I really disliked was the tags they put on them, so those came off immediately after I washed them. I cut a slit close to the seam where they were attached, then ripped off the tag while pressing down firmly on the seam with the other hand to prevent breaking the thread. They’ve been washed dozens of times now and there has been no fraying or unraveling of the side seams. There has also been no breaking of the loops that make up the washcloths. There isn’t a single thread dangling on any of them.I discovered I like these best for washing my face. Like all our towels, I wash in HOT water with regular detergent and NO FABRIC SOFTNER yet they’ve remained softer in texture than any of the others. Being thinner, they are easier to rinse and wring out and they dry rapidly. Even after air drying, they aren’t stiff when I collect them to place in the laundry basket for laundering. That’s something I’ve not experienced before. For me, the mid-weight work best when bathing and the super-premium are simply too thick and heavy for me when they get wet. They do well absorbing lots of water for drying, but that is what towels are for so they rarely get used. I also don’t care for the patterned band on those because it reduces the “useful” area of the washcloth. So, that’s what works for me- I hope this helps you decide what might be best for you.

Soft, absorbent, dries quickly
Needed towels that would dry quickly in a small bathroom with little airflow and these fit the bill. Love the color. Washes well but creates a lot lint the first few washes, so I recommend you wash separately.

Very soft, very comfortable to wrap around oneself
It is not the thickest towel we have, but it is VERY soft. I’m happier with lighter weight towels. Easier to wash since they don’t weigh down the whole load. It dries all of me very well and feels great. My favorite.

Decent for the cost
I got these on a prime day deal, happy I didnât pay full price as the hem is undone on half of the was clothes, less than a year old so not very durable. Thickness is nice and they are fairly soft.

Color not as expected but otherwise good towels for the money.
I got these in “platinum” and these are very pretty but more tan/gray than I thought. Still keeping them anyway, because other than not being thrilled with the color, they are really well made towels and otherwise fit the description perfectly. And after all, a towel is a towel and screen image colors can vary from screen to screen.I really like these towels in terms of size, softness, all that. I wish I could have taken maybe half a star or a third of a star off because “platinum” as the photo shows up on my screen isn’t the right match for the color that these are on arrival, which I would call “light gray-brown.” I thought they would be more blue-gray than tan/brown/gray . HOWEVER, per above, they are very good towels so I am not going to waste packaging, labor, gas etc. on a return. I still like them.

Lightweight
Nice towels. Soft, absorbent and they dry quickly. What were we thinking of with those ultra-thick towels?

DO NOT go by GSMs here.Used to chop and change towels all the time. All that has stopped since I started using these. Have ordered these towels repeatedly now.1) The dimensions are huge. There is a debate on whether this is a bath towel / bath sheet. Ignore that debate. The towel does what you want it to do, which is to make you dry.2) And it is par excellence when it comes to drying you. The water absorbency is phenomenal. And it is genuinely usable from both sides. Most towels Iâve used get become unusable from the other side after one side gets soaked from use. Not this one.I like white towels, and havenât ordered the Solimo towels because they are never available in white. But Iâve used most of the other towels that are rated 4+ on Amazon and these are by far the best.

These towels are good quality; they are not ‘luxury’/high quality, but definitely better than low quality/economy towels. They were packaged well, in a plastic bag inside a corrugated box. There was a new material type smell to the towels, but after the first wash before use (which the instructions say to do), that smell was 100% gone, leaving them perfect. They are well made, the hemming on the ends and sides is solid, and no threads/hemming has come undone in the time I’ve had them and it doesn’t look like that will be an issue at all. These are made in India. I can’t say why they chose the name ‘Quick-Dry’, as that usually indicates something that, when hanging in air, dries itself more quickly than normal; that is not the case at all with these towels, but the do work better when used to dry something.Comparing the Quick-Dry vs the Regular version (both AmazonBasics, both same size hand towels):Quick Dry: – Extremely soft, more than typical, very nice feel to them – Dries hands more quickly/easily, soaks up any water it touches instantly, makes better contact with skin – Wet towel does not dry any quicker than a regular towel, it dries about the same – Has a texture with a look and feel more like very short fur – Ideal (and preferred by me) for drying anything that is wet (from hands, to a wet counter) – Not the best for using as a washcloth (like if you want a big soaked cloth to use to wash your counter/floor) – Made in IndiaRegular: – Typical soft cotton towel feel – Dries hands like typical towels, not quite as quick to absorb as the quick-dry – Wet towel dries normally – Has the typical cotton towel loop texture, course but not rough at all – Great for drying anything that is wet (from hands, to a wet counter), but the quick-dry works even better – Ideal for using as a large washcloth (like if you want a big soaked cloth to use to wash a counter/floor – Made in IndiaIn comparing the two types, it looks like they are both made exactly the same way, perhaps by the same company/factory, using different material, so the only difference is just that, the material.Recommendation:Both are nice towels, but when used to dry something wet (hands, body, counters), the Quick-Dry is definitely better, and by far the better choice for many reasons. I definitely recommend them.Interestingly, it is quite the opposite if they are used as washcloths, when both are soaking wet and used to wash/scrub something, the Regular is definitely better for that alternate use.
