Bought this for my husband and bought an XXL just in case. He is 6 feet 195 pounds. I like the texture of the waffle weave and it's not too thick. I wanted that so it was great. He likes it a lot because he can put a towel on it before drying it off so it absorbs the water. He's a bit handicapped, that helps. The only thing that bothered me was the length of the belt. It's fairly short so there's almost no sagging when tied. Anyway, it's a keeper.
