60/100
Well-made, but rough on the environment.
Best for Buy once, keep for years to amortize the production hit.
This product scored 60/100 on the material-quality rubric (durability, comfort, breathability, warmth, moisture-wicking, care-ease), based on its composition of 10% Elastane, 51% Polyester, 39% Nylon, 10% Elastane. Sustainability is scored separately as the Eco Rating. Blended from 10% Spandex, 51% Polyester, 39% Nylon, 10% Spandex — the score is a weighted average based on each material's proportion.
C (55-69): Average material composition — typical blend, reasonable for everyday wear.
Average quality, high synthetic content
Decent for everyday wear, but the synthetic content means microplastic shedding and it won't biodegrade. Consider natural alternatives for your next purchase.

Plastic-based — sheds microplastics in wash
Added Jun 7, 2026 · Data last updated Jun 7, 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.
× 1.30 for Spandex (high-durability fiber, durability 90).
= 130 expected wears. $45 ÷ 130 ≈ 35¢/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.
