Men's Rebar M4 DuraStretch Made Tough Double Front Straight Leg Pant vs Women's High-Rise Straight Stretch Linen-Viscose Utility Pants: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag DWR coating composition (fluorocarbon status), Antimony in polyester components and VOC off-gassing from DWR finish on the Ariat and not on the Banana Republic.
• We flag Formaldehyde resins (wrinkle resistance, shape retention), Azo dyes and heavy metal pigments and Antimony in polyester (if present in trim/elastic) on the Banana Republic and not on the Ariat.
• The Ariat is cotton blend with durable water repellent (DWR) finish where the Banana Republic is linen-viscose blend, no water-resistant finish, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Banana Republic is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Ariat grade, at 40% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
