These things are just big fun! At 5 feet long they are great when you have guests over for a pool party or hanging out . I've noticed the price jumps around a little for which color costs what but if you aim under $10 a towel you're doing just fine. Not the cheapest towels, but the best overall combo of price, size and comfort for my money.
I've gotten mine to last quite a while by using this pro-tip:
1. I always wash in cold. Almost all laundry detergents work just as well if not better in cold water these days and it saves energy AND it saves colors. I also noticed the towels that are washed in cold don't get all thready as quick.
2. After they have been around the pool soaking up pool water and drying people off, if you don't plan to wash them right away, hose them off. Get the harsh pool chemicals off them and you can hang them out to dry at that point. Don't allow them to dry with all that pool stuff on them.
3. If they get dingy for some reason, maybe avoid the bleach to clean them up and use a little bit of TSP in the wash. This will get them bright and not quite as harsh as bleach (even the color safe kind), also leaves them feeling soft if you don't go all ham with the TSP. A little goes a long way.

Decent, although I only need them for one week a year
I do my best to get to go to the beach one week a year, so I bought these for quite infrequent use, so please keep that in mind.In terms of appearance, I got the green and white. The green is a tad less vibrant than it appears in photos, but is still a beautiful shade.I saw that several people commented on the amount of lint they produce, so I added a pic of the lint I got after washing (just them in the washer, regular cycle, warm water) and drying (medium heat plus an extra 10 minutes to try to really get anything loose). I think it’s a very typical amount of lint to get off of two new towels.After washing and drying them, I see a few threads that are less than an inch in length, near the edges. I’ll trim those but none seem to be from the loops.You can see in my pic that the binding (or whatever is the right terms for the edging) is pitifully thin. You shouldn’t be able to see the color differences under it but you definitely can with these. It’s already looking a tad worn there so I can imagine they will be very frayed and the binding may come off after several uses/washes. To try to avoid that, I’m stitching it down preemptively. I won’t know until I go on my trip in a few months whether that suffices. If the towels turn out to be a huge waste of money, I’ll come back and update this.TL;DR- they’re attractive but don't seem super sturdy, so they’re good for occasional trips to the beach/pool but I wouldn’t expect longevity if you’ll be using them often.Update 2023: I’ve used these towels and washed and dried them about a dozen times. As I mentioned, I did add stitches to keep the edging in place before I used them the first time. So far, wear and tear is minor. If you’ll be using these on a daily basis, I’m not sure they’ll last very long, but for those of us without easy access to a pool/lake/ocean who just need them for maybe a week a year plus an occasional invite to someone’s pool, these are soft and absorbent and I still love the green stripes.
