My family has purchased many of these scarves, mostly for my wife, and recently two for our teenage daughter's birthday.  They are thin, yes, yet very soft and the colors are exactly as they look online.  If you are looking for a thick, higher quality scarf, then purchase a more expensive scarf. My wife has even machine washed them with woolite, hung them to dry, and they still retain the colors and have not developed runs.  The colors do not bleed in the wash, as many of the cheap scarves do that she has purchased over the years. They are by no means transparent, as another reviewer stated, but they are thin.  Our daughter began borrowing them, so we purchased two for her as well, and we all know how particular teenagers are! They look classy worn as a scarf over even a simple t-shirt.  Finally, the package was received at our home a day or two before expected. We highly recommend this product, the price point for the quality makes this a  really great deal.
