This is my favorite robe and I have tried many. It's LINEN, which is important. It is light. I have heavier ones in linen but this one is just right. I bought them for friends as gifts and they love them too. But, I just left mine in a hotel 3,000 miles away. I took it with me because I wanted it to be with me, and then left it on the hook as I rushed out the door. Now, I have to get another!! But it's worth it.
