Where these two actually differ

  • We flag DWR coating chemistry (unspecified), Nylon degradation and leaching from chlorine/salt, Spandex UV and chlorine sensitivity and Microfiber shedding during laundering on the Lands' End and not on the Speedo.
  • The Lands' End is Nylon/spandex blend with likely DWR water-repellent finish where the Speedo is Polyester/nylon blend (standard swimsuit fabric), 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 Speedo is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the Lands' End grade, at 42% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.

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 →
