adidas Men's Ultimate365 Tour CLIMAPROOF+ Anorak Jacket
Water-repellent apparel, water-repellent coating chemistry unclear; PFAS risk unknown.
CLIMAPROOF+ uses water-repellent treatment typical in golf jackets, but Adidas does not publicly disclose whether PFAS-free alternatives are used. water-repellent coating finish chemistry remains unverified.

What adidas Men's Ultimate365 Anorak Jacket is made of, ingredients and materials
This anorak is polyester with a water-repellent water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) finish applied to the surface. Polyester itself is chemically stable and does not shed heavy metals or known endocrine disruptors during normal wear. The water-repellent coating is the variable, Adidas has not publicly disclosed whether this uses PFAS-based chemistry (older standard) or newer PFAS-free alternatives, which creates uncertainty about long-term durability and wash-water impact.
What’s concerning
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.

No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
PFAS
Adidas has not disclosed whether this jacket's water-repellent finish uses PFAS-based or PFAS-free chemistry. If PFAS-based, repeated laundering may release trace amounts into wash water; if PFAS-free, risk is lower but alternative chemistry is not publicly verified.
Source, ATSDR ↗Polyester degradation and microfiber shedding
Like all polyester apparel, wear and washing release microfibers into water. This jacket's coating may reduce shedding slightly through surface sealing, but is not microfiber-proof. Heavy use and aggressive laundering increase fiber release.
Coating flaking or particle inhalation during wear
If water-repellent coating deteriorates unevenly from repeated washing or heat exposure, flaking particles could theoretically be inhaled during vigorous activity. Risk is low if jacket is washed and dried gently, but increases with mechanical stress on aged coating.
What’s reassuring
Azo dyes in synthetic colorants
Adidas sources from mills with varying dye standards. No specific azo dye bans or carcinogenic dye incidents are documented for this model, but polyester color quality depends on supplier and is not disclosed here.
Antimony in polyester resin
Polyester is typically catalyzed with antimony compounds during manufacturing. Finished fabric retains minimal residue and poses no dermal absorption risk during normal wear; this is a production environmental concern, not a wearer hazard.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Adidas has committed to phasing PFAS from product lines by 2025 but has remained silent on this specific model's water-repellent coating chemistry and current status. The brand does not publish detailed material safety data sheets or third-party certifications (e.g., bluesign, GOTS) for most performance apparel. No recalls or safety incidents are on record for this jacket model. Without explicit disclosure, buyers cannot verify whether water-repellent coating uses legacy or next-generation chemistry.
How it compares in its category
Performance rain jackets commonly use water-repellent coating finishes; Adidas is mid-tier in transparency on this practice. Competitors like Patagonia and Arc'teryx increasingly label PFAS-free or disclose water-repellent coating suppliers, while budget brands often provide no detail. This model sits in the gray zone, trusted construction quality but opaque chemistry, typical of mainstream athletic brands.
If you buy it
Wash separately in cool water with mild detergent and dry on low heat or air-dry to preserve the water-repellent coating and avoid releasing any coating particles. Do not dry-clean or expose to prolonged high heat (above 60C/140F), which can degrade polyester and any surface treatments. Re-apply commercial water-repellent coating treatment after 20-30 washes if water beading diminishes. Avoid machine drying on high, as friction and heat accelerate coating wear.
