I wanted an inexpensive robe for the backyard pool and hot tub. Didnt need something that looked like it came from LL Bean but didn't want it to fall apart after the first washing either. At $22 this robe was a great choice. Its a medium to heavy weight that soaks up water. It is a bit scratchy but nothing thats uncomfortable.  I looked it over pretty good when I received it. Its stitched up well and both sleeves are the same length. It has a collar loop which is always handy.  Ive washed it six or seven times and its holding its weight.  I bought the blue. I left it hanging outside for a couple of weeks and the sun faded it in some areas. There is a smell, as mentioned by other reviewers, but it wasn't too bad and it washed out.  Im 58 and 170. L/XL is a loose, comfortable fit.
