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.

🔬

Every wash of synthetic fabric releases up to 700,000 microplastic fibers into waterways. Use a Guppyfriend bag to catch them.

🌱

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

⚠️

Synthetic fabrics can contain BPA, which mimics estrogen. Studies have found BPA transferring to skin through sweat contact.
