Where these two actually differ

  • We flag DWR coating chemistry (PFAS and alternatives), Volatile organic compounds (VOC) off-gassing and Coating degradation and performance loss on the Kelty and not on the Skandika.
  • We flag Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from waterproof coating, Coating degradation and structural integrity loss and Antimony residues in polyester fiber on the Skandika and not on the Kelty.
  • The Kelty is polyester fabric with DWR waterproof coating (type unspecified) where the Skandika is polyester fabric with waterproof 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.

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 →
