The dog days of summer have arrived, which means you’ll most likely be spending a good portion of your time trying to cool off. Whether it be lounging by the pool, laying out on sandy beaches, or simply taking a cold shower; you’re going to want a Towel handy.

When picking a towel, you’ll want to consider these three attributes: absorbency, texture, and weight.

Absorbency is highly dependent on what fabric is used to create the towel. Most of the time you will find that a towel is made from some variation of Cotton, including: Egyptian cotton, organic cotton, Turkish cotton, and many more…

Texture – do you want a towel that is smooth, and soft, or one that is waffled, with a more durable feel?

Weight  is measured by GSMs (Grams Per Square Meter) and may be the most important factor when choosing a towel. While a heavier towels are seen as more luxurious, take into consideration that they will take longer to dry. Any towel that has over 550 GSMs is considered to be of high quality and made to last longer.
