Great product, large sizing, at a good price
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2012
I've been looking for a spa-style robe for a while. Other products I checked on Amazon either had mixed reviews or features I didn't want (e.g., lining on the inside). For the price, I decided to try this one, and am very glad I did. Here's why:1. It has nice waffle-styling on both sides (it's a single ply fabric but moderate thickness so the waffles are on both sides naturally). The waffles themselves about about 1/4" in width, large enough to show up in the appearance, and functional to absorb water, but not so large as to be uncomfortable when sitting, etc.2. I've had spa robes before that were only marginally large enough ... but the sizing here is very generous. I ordered the L/XL size. Although it says it's sized for men and women, the L/XL is very much a large men's size. I'm a guy who usually wears XL shirts and this robe is plenty large. It would probably fit someone up to at least 6'4 and 280 pounds.3. The fabric feels good, with moderate thickness (similar to a thin cotton blanket or very heavy cotton shirt) and is comfortable at ordinary room temperature. Some robes are too thick and get hot, but this one takes the edge off the cold without overheating.3. It's absorbent after a shower but dries quickly. It seems to be about the right blend of cotton/poly for that.4. It's very white, which looks great. I'm wearing it right out of the box.I don't yet know about durability, as I've had it only for a few days. I'll update that if there is anything to say.Meanwhile, if the generous sizing works for you, it seems like a good deal at the price.=== Update after 6 months ===I've been wearing this a few times a week in the evenings for six months and it has held up great. It still looks as good as new, after a dozen or more washings. I bleach it with chlorine every second or third wash, which has caused no problems; it comes out beautifully white. And there has been no shrinkage either after regular machine drying.I'd also update the comments on sizing. I'm 5'9 170# while my wife is 5'9 and 150#. Although I said it is a large men's, it fits us both fine. I'd guess that 5'6 and 140# would be about the smallest it would fit OK (the smaller size might be better, though; I'm not sure about that). But it definitely fits the range of 5'8-6'0 and 150-230 very well (on the generous side). Cheers!
Nice spa-type robe

We recently had our bath remodeled with an air jet tub and spa ambience. I wanted robes for my husband and I that would carry the 'theme'. They are light weight which is great. They are NOT as long as they appear in the pic though.

Not as water absorbing. Back piece can bother neck at times
Comfortable, looks good.

The fabric mix on this item is good, it does dry out fast even in cold damp Seattle, where 100% cotton is always a risk. I was originally looking for an even more light-weight robe than this one, and think that the label "lightweight" is to contrast with some quite heavy waffle-weave bathrobes that you sometimes see. I have another bathrobe in thick microfiber for cold weather, but I like to have a light one around for summer. I am 5'7" and I got the large. It fits well except that the loops for the belt are at my hips instead of at my waist, where I prefer. The length is good, not as long as in the product photos.
got X-Large as other reviews recommended and fits just fine for the purpose

Works well as a towel robe. I normally wear a large, got X-Large as other reviews recommended and fits just fine for the purpose. Not stylish, but nicely functional.
Material much too thin and sheer
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2013
I found this robe to be much too lightweight and sheer, you can really see though it. I would be uncomfortable wearing it to walk through my house from the bathroom to the bedroom if there were anyone else around. The style was attractive, and the sizing as described by other reviewers - shorter than shown and generous around the middle. For this modest woman, though, it was just a little too sheer.
I am pleased that my husband

I am pleased that my husband, the recipient of this bathrobe, is so pleased with it! He has worn it constantly as he slowly recovers from two foot surgeries in June. It is also easy to wash and dry, and holds its shape well. He will get many years of use from it! Thank you!
Not Like the Photo on Amazon

My wife and I wanted matching robes and I ordered the XXL for me. The robe arrived and the sleeves barely go beyond my elbows and the robe barely below my knees. The photo really misrepresents the robe. And I had to pay postage to get it AND they misrepresent their product and I have to pay postage again to get it back to them! for a refund! Absolutely will not be purchasing anything from this merchant again.

This is the most pathetic bathrobe I've ever used . The product picture shows it's long but it barely reaches my knee and guess what i am only 5'5. Also when asked for refund saying it's not matching the product description the seller flatly denied. Don't fall for this scam!!!
