SUTERA Silverthread Bath Towel | Antimicrobial Towel with Silver Ion Technology | Waffle Weave Design, Plush, Lightweight, and Quick-Drying for Everyday or Spa Use | 31" x 57" (Grey)

A little thinner than I thought but overall has great absorption and feels very nice and luxurious! Dries very quickly.

This towel is very lightweight and it is very absorbent. But soft? Oh hell no, this is not for folks with sensitive skin. I'm very happy with that because I like how rough it is; it functions as an exfoliator post shower, but the claim that it is soft is way off. The price is too high for what you get, but I do like it and I use it on a daily basis.

I ordered these because I saw them on Facebook. I was tired of my towels not drying fast enough after each use. Although they are expensive, I decided to purchase these. Delivery was within a few days. When I received them and felt them for the first time, it wasn't soft at all. Very rough feeling. I put them in the washer/dryer hoping that this will soften them up. To my dismay, they did not. It actually felt rougher and to make matters worse, the towel did not even fully dry up the next morning when I used them. I do have to say that they are lighter than most other towels and seem to dry you off pretty well. But again, they were rough and could probably chafe if you are rough when wiping. I woudn't recommend you buying these at all, especially at this price point. I went out and purchased a few towels from Costco for about $10 and they were much softer and actually dried in time for the next use.

Okay, so I'm doing some spring cleaning/remodeling/renovating, and I'm looking to get rid of and/or replace a bunch of stuff so I can have a little "new beginning". And I'm a big fan of technology. Even with something as low-tech as a towel. So, these towels are self-proclaimed to have "Innovative Silver Infusion (which) Destroys 99.9% Of Bacteria And Keeps Towels Fresh & Clean," while simultaneously being softer, lighter, stronger, and more absorbent. But are they REALLY all those things?In the interest of "full disclosure," I've only had the towel for about a week. And, first off, it looks like something your friend's grandma knitted. So, aesthetically, they fail the "modern" test, IMO. But how the towels look is significantly less important to me than how they perform. Especially if they can do everything else they claim.As for the silver ion technology making it less-susceptible to bacteria, I would LOVE it for that to be true; but is it? I am not a scientist, and I have no way of testing this. Any thoughts on this out there? Sutera rep? Anyone? And as long as I have the Sutera representative's attention (at least in my mind I do)... Grey and white are good choices, but how about some more color options? Lighter Grey, Black, Blue, etc.So, I don't know if it's stronger than a normal towel, and I don't think it's in my best interest to put it through some sort of stress-test to find out. It absorbs about the same as a regular towel, I think. The Sutera towel is definitively lighter, I will give it that. But does it dry more quickly? I don't think so. It seems to dry at the same rate as a normal towel, or even possibly slower. This is why I'm reaching out to you all with this review. Am I right about that, or am I crazy? Does anyone else find these towels to be not particularly quick-drying? Is it just me?Please let me know. K. Thanks!

They are soft, but could be softer considering the price. Overall they are good enough to buy more someday.
