The Ralph Lauren
Payton is part of the
Bath Towels test program at
Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Bath Towels
models like the Payton are rated on multiple criteria, such as those
listed below.
Softness:
All the towels we tested were soft - some were softer than others. Terry cloth bath towels and waffle towels have a different softness feeling, so they are not directly comparable.
Drying:
Towels that scored well on this test dried more quickly when hung folded in half.
Shrinkage:
Towels that scored well for shrinkage maintained their size better over the course of our wash/dry test cycles.
