Bought this for my sis as a christmas present...I was worried it would be super cheap & not absorb any water like a microfiber robe.  It's like a towel from walmart...and it is tall enough for her, she's about 5'4"  I got her the s/m one.  Make sure to look @ the measurements first...I didn't but luckily I picked the right size.  Thinking I might get myself one!
