Trailgate Gear Bin Green 140 L vs Base Camp Fuse Box Backpack: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag UV degradation and additive leaching, Microplastics from mechanical wear and Odor and volatile organic compounds from manufacturing on the REI Co-op and not on the The North Face.
• We flag DWR coating (PFAS status undisclosed), Polyester/nylon thermal degradation, Coating delamination and integrity loss and Microplastic shedding from synthetic fibers on the The North Face and not on the REI Co-op.
• The REI Co-op is Polypropylene storage bin, no water-resistant coating mentioned where the The North Face is Polyester/nylon with DWR coating, 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 REI Co-op is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the The North Face grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
