Wildwood Heights 45L+5L Backpack vs Trailgate Gear Bin Green 140 L: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag DWR coating composition unknown (non-PFAS concern), Nylon ripstop textile shedding and microfiber release, DWR coating degradation and re-application risk and Seam sealing integrity and water ingress over time on the Columbia and not on the REI Co-op.
• We flag UV degradation and additive leaching, Microplastics from mechanical wear and Odor and volatile organic compounds from manufacturing on the REI Co-op and not on the Columbia.
• The Columbia is Nylon ripstop with DWR treatment (unspecified) where the REI Co-op is Polypropylene storage bin, no water-resistant coating mentioned, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the REI Co-op is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Columbia grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
