Where these two actually differ
- Neither product has a hazard flagged against it, which is uncommon and is why both grade as well as they do.
- The Athleta is nylon, spandex blend where the Nike is Nylon/polyester blend fabric, no waterproofing or stain treatment disclosed, 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.
