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 Lululemon.
- We flag Microplastic shedding from synthetic fibers on the Lululemon and not on the Fabletics.
- The Fabletics is polyester blend fabric, standard construction where the Lululemon is Nylon/nylon blend (Align fabric blend, primarily synthetic), 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.
