it is waterproof

This apron is waterproof due to the plastic backing on it.  It will keep grease from getting onto your clothes when cooking.  I use it when fixing bacon or anything else that can splatter easily like that can.  I think it meant two TOWELS stitched into it instead of owels but yes, there are two towel like things on there to wipe your hands on which is pretty handy.  They ties are long enough to go around me (I am larger sized) and the front pocket made collecting eggs easier the other day.
