I've been looking at these towels for about a year. I finally purchased and was on the fence about it then drove to their store to look at their designs. After looking and feeling I purchased two more, and got my friend to purchase one. I've used my XL towels everyday since then for various things such as covering my leather chair so I don't stick to it in this humid weather to covering my head and shoulders from being sunburned. I drove back down for their sale and had my hands full in the first ten mins. Its funny how designs you think you like are the ones you don't like when you see them in person and then designs you didn't give a second glance to on the website are one's you really like in person. If your on the fence like I was at first then sign up for emails and when they go on sale purchase one or go into one of their stores/or a retailer who sells them to check them out. They have customer service who actually gets back to you right away which is nice. They made a loyal customer out of me.
