Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Elastane fiber degradation and skin irritation risk on the Athleta and not on the Cotton On.
  • We flag Azo dyes and azo metabolites and Heavy metals in synthetic dyes (lead, cadmium, chromium) on the Cotton On and not on the Athleta.
  • The Athleta is nylon blend, no treatment specified where the Cotton On is cotton, 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, which covers 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 →
