This robe is great if you live in a warmer climate. I used to have a thick towel textured one and when I moved to LA, I just couldn't wear it for more than a few minutes at a time. This thin waffle weave is perfect for the perpetual spring weather of Los Angeles. My only complaint is the the wide kimono style sleeves can't really be rolled up for instances like shaving where you don't want them flopping around so much. Not enough to deduct a star though.

That being said, there were a few times in the past that I could just grab my old robe when I forgot to hang up a towel. It essentially was a large towel. This thinner waffle one will cling a bit more to you like a shirt might if you put it on without drying off. It won't really do to dry you off as well. The tradeoff is that it will dry much faster when you hang it up than the thicker robe and not get as gross as quickly.

If you're worried about size, I'm 6'2, 210lbs and pretty broad. The 'one size fits all' fit just fine and could probably fit someone a bit larger than me. The 2/3x/tall must be pretty damn big. At the same time, it's not awkwardly long. My 5'5 girlfriend has occasionally 'borrowed' it and while it looks large on her, she manages.
