This is a truly wonderful bathrobe. It is absorbent, cozy and comfortable, and has plenty of overlap in the front to cover what it needs to. Perfect for putting on  after a shower, and good for general lounging.  It is not quite as brilliant a blue as pictured here, but still a lovely shade of blue. The fabric, more of a terry inside and fuzzier on the outside, is a cotton-poly blend  which will hold the color, whereas 100% cotton tends to fade over time. I will confess to being a bit of a bathrobe junkie, having 5 of them. This is now my go-to for after shower, and will be my travel robe as well. It's not light weight, and it will take up a lot of space in the suitcase, but a nice robe is a necessity for me even when traveling light.  I am not sure that it would be comfortable in hot or humid conditions, but for us who live in US garden zone 3A (coldest in the lower 48) it should work year around.
