WHAT IS IN IT
5 checks per garment: shell fabric, liner, waistband, prints, water-repellent finish
The label terms that hide plastic: satin, microfiber, poly blends, and where to check
A pass / caution / fail score for every piece in your bag
3 questions to send a brand before you buy anything new
THE SHORT VERSION
To check whether your training gear is made of plastic, read 5 things: the shell fiber (polyester, nylon and acrylic are plastic; satin and microfiber name a weave or a construction, not a fiber, so check the fiber line because they are usually synthetic), any water-resistant or DWR finish (the usual reason a PFAS finish gets applied), printed and rubberized panels (plasticizers), the waistband, and the sewn-in liner. The liner matters most, because it holds the most heat, sweat and skin contact of anything you train in. The Toxic Gear Audit is a free 2-page checklist that scores each of those 5 from the garment's own care label.
QUESTIONS
Read 5 things on the label and the piece itself: the shell fiber, any water-resistant or DWR finish, printed or rubberized panels, the waistband, and the sewn-in liner. Polyester, nylon, and acrylic are plastic. Satin and microfiber describe a weave or a construction rather than a fiber, so check the fiber line on those, because they are usually synthetic. The Toxic Gear Audit scores all 5 checks in about 5 minutes per garment.
The liner. It holds the most heat, sweat, and skin contact of anything you train in, which makes it the single highest-priority check on the label, ahead of the shell fabric, waistband, or any printed panel.
Look past polyester and nylon; those are easy to spot. The terms that hide plastic are satin and microfiber, which name a weave or a construction and send you to the fiber line to find out what they are made of, plus any DWR or water-resistant finish, which is usually where a PFAS treatment gets applied. The checklist lists the exact label language for each.
Yes. Every check in the audit runs against the garment's own care label and the brand's product page, no lab and no equipment. One garment takes about 5 minutes.
Fight Form makes natural-fiber training gear, and the audit is the same standard we build to. If your current kit passes it, keep wearing it.
