O'Neill Men's Monsoon Towel / Hooded Poncho

This is my first SwimOutlet.com disappointment out of many, many purchases. First, the plastic package that the poncho was in arrived sliced open (not a good sign). I thought the terry cloth felt thin and cheap but I liked the style so did use the poncho as a "changing room" for a week. Then it was time to wash it, and I followed the instructions which were basically to machine wash and dry it like any towel. When it came out of the dryer it was covered with loops, hanging strings and strands--spots where the terry cloth loop had unravelled. Unfortunately I think it is too late to return it. It definitely is not worth the price. For nearly $50 I was expecting plush, nice terrycloth. This material is substandard, as proven by its inability to handle one washing. Don't buy!
