Where these two actually differ

  • We flag DWR coating chemistry (PFAS risk) and Coating degradation and durability 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 tent fabric with DWR (durable water repellent) coating 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 →
