Where these two actually differ
- We flag Unidentified waterproof coating or surface treatment, Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from flexible plastic housing, Polymer degradation and microplastic shedding over time and Bacterial or mold growth in sealed cavity on the DiCAPac and not on the B+W.
- The B+W is Optical glass lens with multi-coated optical surfaces where the DiCAPac is PVC-free flexible plastic housing with sealed seams, 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 DiCAPac grade, at 50% confidence against 82%, 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 →
