Where these two actually differ
- We flag DWR coating composition (PFAS uncertainty), Polyester degradation and microfiber shedding and Coating flaking or particle inhalation during wear on the Adidas and not on the Patagonia.
- We flag Azo dyes and color fastness, Antimony in polyester fiber, DWR coating degradation and re-treatment chemicals and Unverified DWR chemistry on the Patagonia and not on the Adidas.
- The Adidas is polyester with water-repellent DWR finish where the Patagonia is polyester shell with DWR finish, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Patagonia is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Adidas grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
