Where these two actually differ
- 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 Skandika.
- We flag Formaldehyde resins (textile finishing), DWR coating degradation and reapplication toxicity and Mildew and microbial growth if stored wet on the Skandika and not on the Skandika.
- The Skandika is polyester fabric with waterproof coating where the Skandika is Polyester with silicone-based DWR 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 →
