Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Azo dyes and color fastness and Microfiber shedding on the Adidas and not on the Fabletics.
  • We flag Azo dyes and synthetic colorants, Formaldehyde resins (finishing agents) and Microfiber shedding from synthetic blend on the Fabletics and not on the Adidas.
  • The Adidas is polyester/nylon blend with standard weave where the Fabletics is polyester blend fabric, standard construction, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.

Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
