This robe is very soft and fits true to size but as far as being lightweight, it wasnt for me. As thin and light as the material feels, I was too warm in this. Since I live in Florida, where its always hot, I was especially looking for a very light robe to wear in the super hot summer and this one wasnt it for me. Maybe in a cooler climate it would be a nice summer/spring robe but not for South Florida tropics. I still gave 4 stars because it is very well made, true to size, soft and comfortableSee full review
