Where these two actually differ
- We flag Durable water-repellent (DWR) coating chemistry, Antimony in polyester fiber and Microplastic shedding from coating degradation on the Bogner and not on the Patagonia.
- We flag PFAS in DWR finish, Microplastics shedding from polyester and Coating degradation and leaching on the Patagonia and not on the Bogner.
- The Bogner is Polyester with DWR (durable water-repellent) coating where the Patagonia is recycled polyester with DWR treatment, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
Both products run through the same public rubric: 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 →
