The towels are extremely absorbant despite the very tight weave. These are the best towels I have ever bought, anywhere, and I am 76 years old, so I have bought a few towels in my life. They DO take a little longer to dry than less tightly woven towels, but in my opinion, it is well worth the weight to have towels that are so cheaply made you can almost see through them! I bought these when the NOT inexpensive set of towels I purchased from JC Penney were so sleazy I returned them with a letter about exactly what I think of the poor quality of their merchandise in the past several years. One used to be able to count on JCP for quality merchandise, but sadly, this is no longer true. I was delighted to find the Pinzon towels. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they are NOT made in China...... :)

I have found them to be very absorbent. They are very cushy and really soak up water. Also, btw, using less fabric softener (I use half a sheet instead of a whole sheet) can make towels more absorbent.

Hi, I believe they are. Remember they are cottons and cottons absorb sweat pretty good. I use it and works well for me. I hope I answered your Q.

I sweat from head to toe during my daily workout and these are drenched but still holding on to my ankles. So yes they do handle a heavy soaking each day, although I haven't gone swimming or participated in actual water exercise wesring them.

I didn't think they were absorbent enough. It took awhile for my skin to really dry.

They are incredibly absorbent. I use(d) them mostly while nursing and there wasn't anything they couldn't sop up. The only thing that I've found to be better are homemade ones with flannel, chenille and a layer of natural batting in between.

I washed before I used and did not notice any unusual smell. Also after reading your question, I went and smell them. I still did not notice anything.

they are not waterproof but the moisture doesn't soak through quickly if subjected to some water. i haven't submerged them in anything so i can't speak to that..

I found them to be fine after washing. I washed them with a regular load of laundry (front load) with the same methods and detergents regularly used. Nothing feels as good as when you first get them, but I was definitely satisfied with the product following the washing. Good Luck. Leon

The write up with them says they are.I haven't bleached them yet, but they are great; absorbent and nice feeling, no that stiff thing that some others have. I use them for gym towels because they're a good size and i won't have a coronary if I leave one behind. :)

They seem to be. I only wear them in the gym and I get pretty sweaty. Of course, I can't vouch for what your experience will be.

These seem very absorbant but I haven't used the regular prefolds so I couldn't answer...

I feel lttle tight but not dry after used. You can feel your skin is real clean.

Absorbent? Not sure I know how to answer that except say it does the job for me. It is not rough. The rolls seem smaller than bleached big-name brands made of non-recycled paper. That's my only criticism. I'm about to place another order with 7th Gen.

They are soft, and I often use one as a towel when washing only my face. My skin is somewhat sensitive. They are fine with me.

They are super absorbent and not that stiff. No more so than than the ones used for elderly in nursing homes.

Not sure, just know that I have worn them in the hot tub and they don't come off or seem to absorb the water much. I usually take them off after I come out of the hot tub, though.

Not me. Mine stay clear until I am really warm from work out, then they may begin to fog depending on water temperature.
