- We flag Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating composition, Synthetic fill microplastic shedding and Coating degradation and leachables from synthetic lining on the Allbirds and not on the Allbirds.
- The Allbirds is Merino wool blend, synthetic insulation where the Allbirds is Wool blend with synthetic fill (likely polyester), 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.
