Rapha Men's Pro Team GORE-TEX Cycling Rain Jacket vs Women's Dirt Roamer Storm Jacket: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag PTFE membrane integrity and environmental release, Fluorocarbon DWR finish durability and reapplication toxicity and Polyester degradation and synthetic fiber shedding on the Gore and not on the Patagonia.
• We flag Azo dyes and color fastness, Antimony in polyester fiber, DWR coating degradation and re-treatment chemicals and Unverified DWR chemistry on the Patagonia and not on the Gore.
• The Gore is GORE-TEX polytetrafluoroethylene membrane with DWR finish where the Patagonia is polyester shell with DWR finish, 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 Gore grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
