90% organic cotton/10% spandex
The Organic Cotton Base Layer Bike Shorts are 90% organic cotton, 10% spandex. Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, a soft, breathable everyday plant fiber. Spandex is the stretch plastic blended into almost everything, identical to spandex. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 74 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest.

Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, a soft, breathable everyday plant fiber. Toxome rates every fiber on what it does to the body of the person wearing it, and publishes the reasoning rather than a badge. The score covers the fiber, not the dyes and finishes a mill adds later.
Toxome reads each garment's fiber composition and scores it on what that fiber does to your body, not on a brand's sustainability marketing. A higher score means a cleaner fiber. Composition is taken from what the brand publishes, so the score reflects the label rather than our opinion of it.
