PossiblePlastic degradation and microplastic shedding
PossibleMold or bacterial growth on interior surfaces
Where these two actually differ
- We flag Plastic degradation and microplastic shedding and Mold or bacterial growth on interior surfaces on the Peak Design and not on the B+W.
- The B+W is Optical glass lens with multi-coated optical surfaces where the Peak Design is Protective shell, likely polycarbonate or ABS plastic, 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.
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 →
