Where these two actually differ
- We flag Polyester microplastic shedding and DWR coating durability and 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 waterproof treatment 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 →
