13/100
Safe to wear, but rough on the environment.
Best for Safe to wear; production isn't clean — donate when done.
This product scored 13/100 on the material-quality rubric (durability, comfort, breathability, warmth, moisture-wicking, care-ease), based on its composition of 77% Recycled Fiber, 23% Nylon. Sustainability is scored separately as the Eco Rating.
F (<40): Low-rated material composition — consider alternatives.
Low quality — skip if you can
This scores poorly across the board. It likely won't last, may not be comfortable, and has significant environmental impact. Your money goes further with better materials.
77% Recycled Fiber, 23% Nylon
Plastic-based, recycled — sheds microplastics in wash

Sustainability is scored separately — see the Eco Rating below.
Synthetic fabrics can contain BPA, which mimics estrogen. Studies have found BPA transferring to skin through sweat contact.
This fabric will take 200+ years to decompose. That means a shirt you buy today will still exist in the year 2226.
The fashion industry produces 10% of global carbon emissions — more than aviation and shipping combined.
Strong cost-per-wear
Base for this category: 100 expected wears.
× 0.70 for Nylon (low-durability fiber, durability 21).
= 70 expected wears. $30 ÷ 70 ≈ 43¢/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.

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.
