The long, narrow proportions sit comfortably around the neck during exercise, while its compact construction takes up very little space in a gym, hiking or travel bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe towel incorporates finely processed Binchotan, Japan’s celebrated white charcoal, into the textile. Traditionally produced through an exacting high-temperature firing process, Binchotan has been valued in Japan for centuries for its natural purifying and deodorising qualities. Its inclusion is particularly well suited to an active-use towel, helping naturally neutralise unwanted odours without relying on conventional chemical treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for the gym, yoga and Pilates, running, hiking, cycling, travel and outdoor pursuits, the towel becomes increasingly soft and supple through washing and continued use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 15 × 105 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial: \u003c\/strong\u003e30% Rayon, 70% Cotton with natural charcoal infusion \/ 6 layers \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Charcoal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in: \u003c\/strong\u003eNara, Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse: \u003c\/strong\u003eFitness, yoga, Pilates, running, hiking, cycling, travel and everyday use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare: \u003c\/strong\u003eWash before first use to encourage softness and absorbency.
