Where these two actually differ
- We flag DWR finish chemistry (PFAS-status unknown) and Microfiber shedding from polyester on the Coleman and not on the Patagonia.
- We flag DWR treatment chemistry (PFAS status unverified) and Microplastic shedding from shell abrasion on the Patagonia and not on the Coleman.
- The Coleman is polyester with DWR water-repellent finish where the Patagonia is Down fill + nylon or polyester shell with DWR treatment, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Patagonia is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Coleman grade, at 35% confidence against 62%, 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 →
