 Best bath towels I've ever owned July 23, 2008
I rarely write reviews (I've probaby purchased a few thousand items from amazon and I think that this might be my first review. I had to write to say that these towels are incredibly good. Thick, heavy, look great, feel great. I have towels that cost 10x as much and these are far better. I'm throwing out all of my other towels (or using as rags) and buying more of these. (and no, I am NOT affiliated with this towel company)
 Phenomenal, but the bath sheet is just TOO much of a good thing. July 19, 2008

I bought a bath sheet in orange just to test these towels. It is amazing, heavy, thick, luxurious-- but much too big for everyday use. (It's taller than me, and wider than our doorways! Won't fit without folding on any of our towel racks, and I'm afraid it won't dry without souring if it's folded.)
I adore it, but it's going to have to be repurposed.
Here's a tip, if you're wanting these: for some reason, the prices on the different colors fluctuate wildly. If you're interested in a particular color and towel size, put it in your shopping cart, and then open it regularly for a couple of weeks and watch the price changes. You'll be able to see when the price goes down a bit, and snap up an even better deal.
Soft, heavy, good absorption and value July 17, 2008

My husband and I are towel snobs. We took a chance on these specifically because the price made it a good gamble and so many reviews alluded to the heavy weight of the towels. We're extremely glad we did! We're so pleased with the quality of the bath sheets we'll now be investing in the rest of the sets from Pinzon.
Some important observations about the bath sheets:
- the first time you wash/dry them, be prepared to empty the lint trap in your dryer several times. They will NOT dry in a timely manner unless you are diligent about emptying the lint trap several times. We consider this a very minor inconvenience.
- as with any type of towel, the use of liquid fabric softener or more than one dryer sheet is a no-no. That's even more true with these because they are so thick and heavy. Water will shed right off them once dry if you use a liquid fabric softener, and that's assuming you can get them dry in the first place. Fabric softener should not ever be used on towels anyway, but it becomes even more important to remember that with the Pinzon 820 towels. I suspect most negative reviews regarding absorption are a direct result of fabric softener use. We've been able to get away with using a single dryer sheet in with two bath sheets and not have a problem, just to eliminate static electricity, but we generally use a dryer sheet that's already gone through once with a smaller/short load.
- these are HEAVY. Don't discount the reports of their heaviness. For example, I would not advise purchasing these towels for anyone who is elderly or physically lacking in strength. Their weight is really THAT significant. I could actually see someone with physical strength issues struggling to dry themselves off with these towels, so they're probably not a good gift idea for elderly parents and the like.
- the colors in the images for Plum and Platinum are a little more towards the "slate" side of the color spectrum than the images demonstrate. Both are a beautiful shade, but they do have that powdery slate-like hue to them.
Overall, we're very happy with these towels and have no personal complaints with them. Comments in this post reflect things that may be of concern to other buyers - as far as we're concerned, these towels are a 10 out of 10.
"Luxury" is right! July 10, 2008
These bath sheets are almost too nice to use! They wash well and soak up water like a sponge. I will definitely buy more when I need them.
wonderful towels! Super find!! June 29, 2008
My favorite hand-towel ever. Plush & thick does not begin to describe this towel. Great price. Washes very well. Looks new each time. When you dry your sopping wet hands, the towel is so thick, it is barely damp. My only regret-I wish they came in butter yellow to match the great washcloths by Pinzon.
