Why this grade?

This product scored 40/100 based on its composition of 61% Cotton.

D (40-54): Below average — may lack durability or comfort.

Composition

61% Cotton

Below average — consider alternatives

This fabric scores low on quality. It may pill, wear out quickly, or not feel great against skin. Look for higher-rated options.

🌱

Cotton biodegrades in 1-5 months. When you're done with this, it returns to the earth — not the ocean.

💧

Cotton absorbs moisture but doesn't wick it. Great for a hot day, terrible for hiking — you'll stay wet.

🏭

The fashion industry produces 10% of global carbon emissions — more than aviation and shipping combined.
