I wanted a lightweight but absorbent robe, and this one works great. I've had heavier robes, and they are just too bulky and hot for me. I ordered the L/XL size, and it is plenty big. I am 5'10" and weight over 200, and this robe was very roomy. I think it would actually be too big for anyone much smaller than me. The sleeves come right down to my hands, and the length is about to my shins. There's plenty of overlap in the front that I'm sure it would accommodate someone at least one and a half times my size. It's a little stiff out of the package, but I'm sure it will soften over time.

If you want a thick, cozy, warm robe to laze around in, this is NOT the one. But if you want something to dry you off and keep the drafts away when you get out of the shower, give this one a try. It looks nice and works well.
