One thing to be aware of: Wirecutter staff members who have followed the slightly persnickety care instructions (wash on gentle cycle in cold water with very little detergent and no softener, and, if possible, air dry) report no pilling. However, one staff member treats her Huckberry towels like regular towels, giving them no special treatment, and she says they pilled slightly after just a few washes. The Huckberry towel, which measures 40 by 70 inches, has the lowest GSM rating of our picks, at 155 GSM.
