Where these two actually differ
- We flag Copper conductor corrosion and oxidation, Thermal degradation of PVC jacket and Microplastic shedding from jacket wear on the Anker and not on the Body Glove.
- We flag Silicone degradation and leachables and Microbial growth in seal cavities on the Body Glove and not on the Anker.
- The Anker is PVC outer jacket, copper conductors, standard connectors where the Body Glove is Rubber/silicone polymer, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
- We are less certain about the Body Glove grade, at 40% confidence against 78%, 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 →
