Where these two actually differ
- We flag PFAS in DWR fabric coating and Fabric coating degradation and particle shedding on the AE Outdoor and not on the Totes.
- We flag PFAS in DWR coating and Coating degradation and microplastics on the Totes and not on the AE Outdoor.
- The AE Outdoor is Aluminum frame with unspecified fabric coating (likely polyester blend with durable water repellent) where the Totes is polyester/nylon fabric with unspecified water-repellent coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
