- We flag Heavy metals in unspecified hardware, Thermal degradation of polyester and nylon and Microplastic shedding from synthetic fabric on the Kata and not on the Kata.
- The Kata is nylon/polyester with water-resistant coating where the Kata is Nylon and polyester fabric with unspecified hardware, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Kata is the one to buy.
