A dense, durable Turkish-terry hooded robe built to actually dry you off after the bath or pool.
Arus makes a serious absorbent hooded robe: heavy Turkish cotton terry, hard-wearing stitching, and a roomy hood. If the robe's real job is drying a soaking body after the shower or pool, this is the one. It costs more than budget hooded robes and is slow to dry itself, but it lasts.
