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 Nike.
  • We flag Formaldehyde resins (finish and dye-setting), Azo dyes and heavy metal dye contaminants, Microfibre shedding (synthetic textile degradation) and Antimony in polyester on the Nike and not on the Fabletics.
  • The Fabletics is polyester blend fabric, standard construction where the Nike is Nylon/polyester knit blend, no waterproofing or coating 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.

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 →
