Where these two actually differ
- We flag Undisclosed waterproof coating (possible PFAS or polyurethane), Coating degradation and particle shedding, Off-gassing of volatile solvents (fresh product) and Skin sensitization from coating residue (if direct contact occurs) on the Matin and not on the Think Tank Photo.
- We flag Undisclosed water-repellent coating chemistry and Coating degradation over time on the Think Tank Photo and not on the Matin.
- The Matin is Neoprene with unspecified waterproof coating where the Think Tank Photo is Ballistic nylon, weather-sealed fabric, metal hardware, 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 Think Tank Photo is the one to buy.
