The Four-Layer Bath Towels from editor-favorite brand Riley have a woven design that's made from ultra-soft, 100-percent cotton. Lightweight and stylish, the towels are available in four colors and have a fringe edge that finishes the look. "I had high hopes for these four layer towels from the minute I opened my package of two," says AT contributor Amy. "It took about two seconds to realize that these guys were also so much softer than any others I’ve tried, and when I unfolded them, the understated soft fringe on two ends was a subtle detail that instantly made them feel classier than the average towel. They were also much thinner and lighter than terry cloth, like your favorite soft, lightweight sweatshirt."

One customer was impressed by the towel’s odor-thwarting properties, writing, “I was skeptical about the ‘quick drying’ description - but it's true. These towels are super absorbent and extremely quick drying! I bought them for my college bound son because I was just thinking how gross a wet towel, hang drying in a dorm room would be - and these are fantastic. Even after a few days, they don't smell musty because they are so quick drying. They are a bit smaller than my other towels - but I'm impressed!"
