53/100
Safe to wear, but rough on the environment.
Best for Safe to wear; production isn't clean — donate when done.
This product scored 53/100 on the material-quality rubric (durability, comfort, breathability, warmth, moisture-wicking, care-ease), based on its composition of 50% Rayon, 50% Polyester. Sustainability is scored separately as the Eco Rating. Blended from 50% Rayon, 50% Polyester — the score is a weighted average based on each material's proportion.
D (40-54): Below-average material composition — weak on durability or comfort.
Below average — consider alternatives
This fabric scores low on quality. It may pill, wear out quickly, or not feel great against skin. And when it does wear out, it'll sit in a landfill for decades. Look for higher-rated options.

Plastic-based — sheds microplastics in wash

Sustainability is scored separately — see the Eco Rating below.
Every wash of synthetic fabric releases up to 700,000 microplastic fibers into waterways. Use a Guppyfriend bag to catch them.
This fabric will take 200+ years to decompose. That means a shirt you buy today will still exist in the year 2226.
Synthetic fabrics can contain BPA, which mimics estrogen. Studies have found BPA transferring to skin through sweat contact.
Strong cost-per-wear
Base for this category: 100 expected wears.
× 0.70 for Rayon (low-durability fiber, durability 60).
= 70 expected wears. $13 ÷ 70 ≈ 19¢/wear.
Missing GSM — this is a category-level estimate, not garment-specific. Expect ±30% variance.
Real life is messier than a formula: how often you wash, how you wash, whether you wear it inside-out, dry on low — all of it shifts the number. This is the ceiling under reasonable care.

Microplastic shedding · skin-contact synthetic load · likely chemical treatments
Moderate health impact — some synthetic content or possible chemical treatments. Rotate with natural-fiber alternatives where you can.
700,000 fibers/wash
50% synthetic
Antimony
50% synthetic content (polyester). Moderate microplastic shedding — a washing bag catches 86% of fibers.
$13 for a fabric that's 50% synthetic (plastic-based).
Materials will persist in the environment for decades.
We rate the fabric, not the garment. Composition is the floor of what you're guaranteed to be getting — most shoppers don't have that.
