Use it pool side, at the spa, around the house, wherever you want.  The only downside is the sleeves are HUGE!!!  Do not try to wash dishes with it on or the sleeves will be soaking wet.  Washes well, does not run or lose color after several washes.  The XXL/XXXL is not huge.  It is what most would consider Large.  I have many bathrobes for all seasons but this one cannot be beat.  It is expensive but will last for a lifetime.
