Not surprisingly, my husband was having an unpleasant time donning and disrobing his fleece robe after taking a shower. Terry cloth is definitely the way to go. Based on reviews, I took a chance on this TowelSelection robe for Christmas out of SO many choices out there, and Im glad I did. Nice material weight (not too heavy or too thin) and absorbent. Appears to be well sewn; will update if this changes after a few more washings. My husbands usual size is XL. Hes 6 and has a large protuding stomach. The XL/XX L fits him beautifully. I recommend you try this one if your in the market!
