Review on Cabana Stripe Beach Towel 100% Cotton Large, Super Absorbent Soft Plush Pool Towel, Bath Towel (Charcoal Grey 30"X60") - Exclusivo Mezcla by Nancy Gray

This towel is kind of a knock off of the Laguna Beach Towel Company Cabana Towel. I bought them both to see if the quality warranted the price difference. It does. Both towels are the exact same size and the colors are close enough. What is hugely different is the GSM (grams per sq meter of woven thread) count. This towel is 400 where as LBTC is 630. That makes for a much more absorbent towel. Pictured are both towels side by side. The one in the left is Exclusivo Mezcala the one on the right is LBTC. There are many more differences in detail, packaging etc but this review is for Exclusivo Mezcla's Towel and I don't want to sell it short. It's velour terry on the printed side and looped terry on the un-printed side. Please note that it is NOT printed on both sides as two reviewers have stated. Mine came with a few flaws in the fabric and since I'm sending it back I can't comment on washing. For the price - I think it's a good value and has a simple but original design in nice colors unlike most hideously bright beach towels
