Where these two actually differ
- We flag Formaldehyde-based resin finishes in polyester, Undisclosed DWR chemical composition (non-PFAS note) and Azo dyes in colored fabrics on the Salewa 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 Salewa.
- The Salewa is Polyester fabric with durable water repellent (DWR) 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 →
