Where these two actually differ
- We flag PFAS in DWR coating, Formaldehyde resins in polyester finishing, Azo dyes in color fastness and Antimony in polyester fiber 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 treatment, down insulation 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 →
