This towel is one of the softest that I have used and it still holds up after two years of use. I see no fraying or loose threads despite regular machine washes. I highly recommend it and am ordering two more!My husband always complains that his towel has a musty odor after using it a couple of times. I bought this for him for Christmas thinking it would solve that problem. The towel is soft and absorbent. It hasn’t snagged. But it still has odor after a few days. It did not perform any different than any other towel. It is a really nice towel but since it didn’t solve the problem it seemed very expensive.Love it!! Feel dry when I am done using it, plus it drys fast while on the towel rack!I got these for my Husband who just recently moved from the states to Hawaii. The towel stake was a real problem there, he Had to wash up almost every time he used them. He can hang these and use the same one 3-4 times now. They are soft, and absorb water to dry you off as well as most towels. They did fuzz- but I washed them about 5 times and that chilled out. Totally would recommend them for humid climates, they are better than any other towels so far.I purchased this towel set 4 months ago because of the claim they remained odor free. I've always had an issue with towels getting a sour smell. These worked great (at first), but now 4 months in I'm starting to detect a sour smell. It seems the Polygiene they are infused with goes away over time.[2.7] I carefully read reviews before buying this towel, and thought the lint was an exaggeration. I have had towels before that stopped dropping lint after 2 washes, this is not the case with this towel, which is such a shame.As far as how it smells [which is why I bought it] If I hang this town up after each use, there is next to zero smell, even after not washing it for 3 weeks. [I try to wash it every two weeks, even if there is no smell, but if hung up correctly it could probably make it past 1 month without washing it.]The lint is the achilles heel. It seems like a clean towel, but rub your hands together after using it, and you'll see little balls start to appear. Picking flecks and beads of lint from your junk, and other parts of your body throughout the day is not fun.If you use this two dry off after a shower, and then rub oil, moisturizer, etc into your face, expect to have little tiny beads, and hairs on your skin all day.I really want to love this towel. It is soft, it does not smell at all. It is built a bit cheaper than I thought it would be for the price, but after 2+ months of daily use, it has held up well. The lint is really a big irritating issue. Yes there is not smell and it is a nice towel, but you end up with lint all over your body, and underwear later in the day, and on your face if you use your towel after a shower and then put on anything, sunscreen, etc. I'm not sure if I would really recommend due to this.I bought one of these to try it out because I've had a problem with towels smelling like mildew no matter what I do. These definitely outlast my other towels as far as smelling like mildew but after about a week they do start to smell but I'm happy with that. These towels are incredibly soft and very absorbent. the only downfall is, I don't think they are worth the price.My husband is constantly mad at towels. He can smell the faintest of funk from a towel before I, with my super sniffer notice it. The man even finds it in freshly washed towels no matter how well washed as sanitized. It doesn't help that we live in a somewhat humid area and out bathroom has the worst ventilation. I have tried nearly every style, weave, and material with little success. These actually work, even in our humid bathroom, even after several uses. I can't recommend them enough. They are pricey, but not more than you'd pay for a quality cotton towel.This is just sooo good.. super soft, lookin' good, lives up to the promise. I need more of this
