Several reviews say these towels bleed, but many more sing their praises and don't mention it. Do some colors tend to bleed more than others?

I have experienced no problems whatsoever with the SportLite Rat Towel. Great product. Mine is blue.

I have the orange, the blue, the lime and the other green one, none of them have bleed so maybe it's the way they washed them, I haven't had any trouble at all

I have a lime-colored towel and did not have any bleeding issues. It's a great product.

I have 6 hand/face and 2 beach all blue. They all have bled, learned the hard way one day.

They are 100% Egyptian cotton 725 gram weight. I also bought the cotton 550 gram weight towels and they are definitely lighter/thinner. (I had the most difficult time trying to find this basic info when I was looking at the different towels too!! I just happened to glance at the heading on my browser page at one point, and there it was....go figure. You'd think Amazon would include a basic fact like this.)

No, they aren't color-fast but that's why the manufacturer recommends washing them 1st before using them. I bought the varsity blue one and it bled blue dye when I hand washed it so I rinsed it really well but it hasn't bled dye since. My brother has used it multiple times since I got it for him with no further problems and no color fading either. HTH!

I looked on mine (which I have had for quite some time) and it isn't marked by the manufacturer. Mine is the bronze color and has not disappointed at all. It is not tall enough to take regular hand towels unless they are folded differently, but does accept the smallest towels which are probably meant to be hand towels. Well made and heavy! CW

I purchased a blue one. It did bleed BUT I FIXED IT. Purchased 2 boxes of Rit dye remover from craft store. Used stove top method, boiled for 30 minutes. Rinsed, washed and repeated with the second box. NO MORE BLEEDING. Even when washed with a whites. The towel is still blue, the whites are pure white. Towel still works great.

As best I can tell,yes. They dry extremely quickly. I use them in lieu of paper towels. Super absorbent, easily washed and dried.

They do have a lot of lint.......haven't found a towel that doesn't.....the Egyptian cotton is the best towels I have found and these specific ones are just great......I now have six and plan to order more. I think the amount of lint will diminish with each washing.....but think you will always have lint from them. Hope this is helpful.....I would suggest you try a couple (they come in twos) and I believe you will be very happy with them.

not that i have noticed, the thing about these towels is that they are not the thick, fluffy, soft towels you may be thinking. They are scary fast at getting you dry and that is the thing I really love about them.

In the past I wrote a review. I ordered these towels about a year ago and they were more than marvelous. Because of this I ordered more of them for my daughter and daughter-in-laws for Mother's Day this past May. I ordered the SAME towels from the SAME company and they were awful. They were very crinckly. Unless they've changed back to the original towels, It would be difficult to embroider on them.

The colors have not bled at all after several washings. I got the duvet cover which is easy to take off and put on my comforter. It is very large though so I may end up getting a California king size comforter to fill up extra space.

I am sorry, could you articulate your question again, as I am not able to understand what it is you are asking me about the towels. Thank you.

Mine did not bleed; however, they are very hard to iron and extremely wrinkly. Not sure I would get them again.

The Pinzons I got were not plum, but a chocolate brown. As for the brown, it is glorious! And with several washings it has remained so. I recommend these towels for a lot of reasons, and I think the plum could be fabulous (in every way that word implies)!

Yes Kevin! I've been using them since December 13 and I've washed my car, and sometimes my wife's SUV, every single weekend with fail. And thus far the towels still look and work great....like new. Although I might add that it's probably because I only use these towels for the body of the vehicle...ie I use different towels (old beat-up & 100% cotton) my rims & tires.

I wouldn't let the 5% discrepancy throw you. They are excellent towels and outstanding value. They are just as good quality as any high end towels that sell for twice as much.

Yes, easy to wash and dries extremely quickly, BUT for some of them, the colors bleed, so you definitely want to wash them separately. The pink one is fantastic color-wise, but oh, does it bleed. The green and brown bleed the least. Pink and blue and yellow bleed the worst.

nope! we have the dark brown and havent had a single color bleeding issue, even with a hot wash!
