53/100
Falls short on every axis — flimsy, synthetic-heavy, and rough on the environment.
Best for Skip if you have other options.
This product scored 53/100 on the material-quality rubric (durability, comfort, breathability, warmth, moisture-wicking, care-ease), based on its composition of Polyester 74%, Rayon 17%, Spandex 9%. Sustainability is scored separately as the Eco Rating. Blended from 74% Polyester, 17% Rayon, 9% Spandex — 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
Added Apr 1, 2026 · Data last updated Apr 1, 2026
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.
Dryer heat destroys spandex/elastane over time. Your leggings and stretchy clothes will last 2x longer if you skip the dryer.
Strong cost-per-wear
Base for this category: 100 expected wears.
× 1.00 for Polyester (mid-durability fiber, durability 74).
= 100 expected wears. $17 ÷ 100 ≈ 17¢/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
High health impact — significant synthetic content or likely chemical treatments. For frequent skin-contact wear, consider a natural-fiber alternative.
700,000 fibers/wash
83% synthetic
Antimony
83% synthetic (primarily polyester). High microplastic shedding risk. Every wash releases hundreds of thousands of plastic fibers into waterways.
$17 for a fabric that's 83% 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.
