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 Reebok.
  • We flag Formaldehyde resins in finishes, Azo dyes and colorfast agents, Antimony in polyester and Microplastic shedding on the Reebok and not on the Fabletics.
  • The Fabletics is polyester blend fabric, standard construction where the Reebok is Nylon/polyester blend, no noted DWR treatment, 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 →
