Where these two actually differ
- We flag Gasket and internal plastic leachables (phthalates, BPA if present), Off-gassing from plastic case interior and PFAS in waterproofing seals or surface treatment 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 Plastic case with sealed seals and gaskets, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- We are less certain about the DiCAPac grade, at 35% 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 →
