Where these two actually differ
- We flag TPU plasticizer leaching, VOC off-gassing and Microplastic shedding from wear on the Anker and not on the Body Glove.
- We flag PFAS in waterproof polymer or surface treatment, Plasticizer leaching from polymer and Seal degradation and microplastic generation on the Body Glove and not on the Anker.
- The Anker is TPU plastic shell, fabric/synthetic lining where the Body Glove is Proprietary waterproof polymer blend (unspecified), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- We are less certain about the Body Glove grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric: 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 →
