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 Azo dyes and processing residues, Spandex degradation products (from heat or sweat) and Microplastic shedding from wear and washing on the Nike and not on the Fabletics.
- The Fabletics is polyester blend fabric, standard construction where the Nike is Polyester blend (nylon/spandex mix), 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 →
