Where these two actually differ
- We flag Azo dyes and synthetic colorants and Formaldehyde resins (finishing agents) on the Fabletics and not on the Lululemon.
- We flag Formaldehyde resins in finishing treatments and Elastane (Lycra) degradation over time on the Lululemon and not on the Fabletics.
- Both carry a flag for Microfiber shedding from synthetic blend, so neither choice avoids it.
- The Fabletics is polyester blend fabric, standard construction where the Lululemon is Nylon/Lycra blend (Align fabric, proprietary knit), 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: 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 →
