Where these two actually differ
- We flag Heavy metal dyes and pigments 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 and spandex blend 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.
- We are less certain about the Athleta grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
