Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Azo dyes and synthetic colorants, Formaldehyde resins (finishing agents) and Microfiber shedding from synthetic blend on the Fabletics and not on the Fabletics.
  • We flag PFAS in water-repellent coating, Coating degradation and microplastic shedding and Skin sensitization from finish residues on the Fabletics and not on the Fabletics.
  • The Fabletics is polyester blend fabric, standard construction where the Fabletics is nylon blend with performance moisture-wicking coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Fabletics is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the Fabletics grade, at 42% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.

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 →
