Patagonia Men's R2 TechFace Hoody
Lower concern, Patagonia's public PFAS phase-out and explicit Teflon-type coating-free claim support this choice.
Patagonia has publicly committed to removing intentionally added PFAS and states this hoody uses non-PFAS water-repellent coating treatment. It carries Bluesign® certification, a third-party standard restricting harmful chemicals.
Brand says: “Patagonia has committed to phasing out all intentionally added PFAS in its products by 2024 and explicitly states the R2 TechFace does not use PTFE or PFC-based DWR treatments.”
