400gsm Chlorine Resistant Towels — Black, Hand Towel Size
Black hides chlorine staining and general pool-side wear far better than white or pale colours — this 400gsm hand-towel-sized towel is vat dyed and chlorine resistant, built for pool decks, spa changing rooms and gym facilities where a lighter towel would show its age within a season.
Key Features
- 400gsm, black, vat dyed for genuine colour-fastness
- Chlorine resistant construction
- 50×85cm — hand towel size, not our larger 70×150cm pool towel
- Pack of 12 or Box of 72
Chlorine bleaches and degrades cotton fibres over repeated exposure — a genuine, well-documented problem for any towel used poolside regularly. Black is a practical choice specifically because it doesn't show that fading and staining the way white or pastel towels do, extending the usable life of the towel visually even as the fibre itself experiences the same chlorine exposure any pool towel does.
Vat dyeing is a deeper, more thorough colouring process than surface dyeing, which is part of why the colour holds rather than patchily fading. At 400gsm and hand-towel size (50×85cm), this suits pool decks, spa changing rooms and gyms wanting a smaller, faster-drying black towel rather than a full-size lounger towel.

Why Buy
Black vat-dyed construction hides chlorine wear far longer than a white or pale towel would, at a genuinely functional 400gsm chlorine-resistant weight — the practical choice for pool-side stock that needs to still look presentable after a full season.
FAQs
Is this the same as your cabana stripe pool towel?
No — this is a smaller, hand-towel-sized (50×85cm) chlorine resistant towel in black, built for pool decks and changing rooms. Our cabana stripe pool towel is a larger 70×150cm lounger-style towel in stripe colourways.
Is this towel bleach resistant as well as chlorine resistant?
No — chlorine and bleach affect cotton differently, and this towel is specifically chlorine resistant only. Avoid bleach in the wash, as it may discolour the towel through a separate chemical process.
Why choose black specifically for a pool or spa setting?
Black hides the staining and fading that chlorine exposure causes far better than white or pale colours, so the towel looks presentable for longer even as normal pool-side wear continues.
Will the black dye run or fade in the wash?
Vat dyeing sets the colour more deeply than surface dyeing, which is why it holds up to repeated washing and pool use. Wash with similar colours and keep bleach out of the wash, as it can discolour the towel separately from chlorine.
