What we found
All 75 rain jackets PFAS Authority has graded score below its 70 point pass mark for PFAS and other toxins, as of October 2026.

The full ranking is below, best-graded first, with every score linking to the evidence behind it. Nothing here clears our buy threshold yet, so the least-concerning options come first.

Are rain jackets safe?

None of the 75 rain jackets we graded come back low-concern on our screen. Our grades are model-based assessments built from published materials, ingredient lists, certifications and brand disclosures, not laboratory tests, so they say what we can evidence rather than that anything is safe.
