| Surface-coated FR chemicals — wears off | Structural FR — embedded in microfiber base layer |
| Fails after 50,000 Martindale cycles | Passes 100,000+ Martindale cycles |
| 6–12 month FR lifespan | Permanent FR performance |
| No third-party test report included | Lab test report shipped with every order |
