Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Antimony in polyester, Azo dyes in fabric printing (tribal print) and Coating degradation and particulate release on the Kelty and not on the Kelty.
  • We flag Azo dyes in polyester webbing, Adhesive and seam-tape volatiles (VOC), Formaldehyde resins in fabric finishing and Microplastic shedding from webbing degradation on the Kelty and not on the Kelty.
  • The Kelty is polyester fabric with waterproof coating where the Kelty is Polyester webbing and nylon, 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 Kelty is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the Kelty grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.

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 →
