I got this since my other bathrobes are way too thick for summer and I wanted something breathable. I wasn't sure what I was going to get since it's terry cloth but I've been pleasantly surprised. This is exactly like the kind of robes they've given me at spas. The belt part is a little short but I can tie it just fine, if you're in doubt you may want to go a size up though or make/order a longer tie belt. I love that I can just throw this in the wash, with bleach if necessary, and not worry about pilling.
