I ordered the four pack of Kebury 35” x 70” towels to replace my smaller and worn cotton bath towels.
I ordered dark gray and received light gray. One side of the towels are slightly darker than the other. But the light gray matches the light gray tile in my bathroom perfectly.
The towels come with a hanging loop sewn on the edge in the middle of the towel. I wasn't expecting that feature. I checked the stitching and material visually and physically. All four towels were manufactured consistently with no errors.
I was confused. Kebury advertised the towels on the Walmart website as being made of 100% microfiber, but the label on the towels says 100% polyester. After doing some research,
I discovered that microfiber is a technical term for very fine fibers, most often made from polyester. Marketing a product as ‘100% microfiber' usually means it is made from very thin polyester fibers and can sound like it's “better” than ‘100% polyester,' which is a broader term and can include coarser fabrics. Labeling rules say the tag on the towel has to list the generic fiber name, such as “100% polyester,” not microfiber.
After using the towel and comparing it against the cotton towels I've used all my life, I like the feel and the way cotton towels move across my skin. The microfiber sticks but does absorbs water. I don't see any major advantages microfiber has over cotton. I'll be keeping my cotton bath towels a little bit longer. That said, I cannot recommend these Kebury towels if you're a long-time cotton towel user!
