B+W UV Haze 010 Filter is the clear pick. Manfrotto Advanced III Camera Shoulder Bag carries a failing PFAS grade, and we never recommend buying a failing product.

Where these two actually differ
- We flag DWR coating off-gassing and inhalation risk, Chemical migration to camera equipment or skin, Deterioration of coating and loss of water resistance over time and Lack of ingredient transparency and inability to verify PFAS absence on the Manfrotto and not on the B+W.
- The B+W is Optical glass lens with multi-coated optical surfaces where the Manfrotto is Nylon fabric with DWR water-resistant coating, 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 B+W is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Manfrotto grade, at 45% 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 →
