Toni Sailer · Ski & Snowboard Jackets
TONI SAILER EVAN dark pine / 52
Skip until clarity, premium ski wear typically uses water-repellent coating finishes; Toni Sailer makes no public PFAS disclosure.
This ski jacket almost certainly has a water-repellent coating treatment, standard for snowsports apparel, but Toni Sailer has no public PFAS commitment or testing data. water-repellent coating coatings historically relied on PFAS; newer alternatives exist but are not confirmed here.

What TONI SAILER EVAN dark pine / 52 is made of, ingredients and materials
Toni Sailer's Evan jacket is almost certainly a polyester or polyester-nylon blend shell with a water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) finish applied to the exterior. water-repellent coating treatments historically relied on Teflon-type coating-based (Teflon) or PFAS-based chemistry to achieve water shedding; the brand has not publicly stated which class their products use. The lining is likely polyester taffeta or similar synthetic, and insulation if present is probably polyester fibre. All synthetic components can off-gas volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during manufacturing and storage.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
water-repellent coating finish chemistry (Teflon-type coating or fluorocarbon-based)
No disclosure provided by brand. Conventional premium ski jacket water-repellent coating finishes are fluorocarbon-heavy; thermal processing during manufacturing and heat from body/sun can release Teflon-type coating fumes or particulates, especially if damaged.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Polyester and nylon shells are routinely treated with finishing resins and dyes. New jackets typically emit formaldehyde and other volatiles for weeks after purchase; risk is higher in unventilated storage or with poor initial handling.
Source, ATSDR ↗Azo dyes in synthetic fabrics
Dark pine colorway requires textile dyes; synthetic ski jackets often use azo dyes which can degrade to carcinogenic amines under sweat, UV, or heat. Toni Sailer does not publish dye safety standards or Oeko-Tex certification.
Coating degradation and microfiber shedding
As water-repellent coating finish wears, polyester shell can shed microfibers into water systems during washing. Repeated washing accelerates this; no information available on Toni Sailer's finish durability or shedding rate versus competitors.
What’s reassuring
Heavy metals
No recalls or testing results publicly available for Toni Sailer jackets. Dark pigments in premium apparel are typically lead and cadmium-screened, but absence of certification means no independent verification.

The brand's record and disclosure
Toni Sailer is an Austrian premium ski apparel brand with no publicly available PFAS policy, environmental report, or third-party safety certifications on record. The brand does not market PFAS-free or bluesign-certified products as of available information. No major safety recalls or chemical controversies have been documented for this specific product line, but the absence of disclosure is itself a red flag in the premium segment where competitors increasingly publish water-repellent coating sourcing and chemical safety data.
How it compares in its category
Premium ski jackets at this price point typically use either fluorocarbon water-repellent coating (high PFAS risk), silicone-based water-repellent coating (lower persistence but weaker water repellency over time), or wax-based finishes (lowest PFAS concern, requires more frequent reapplication). Toni Sailer does not advertise silicone or wax alternatives, suggesting conventional chemistry. Competitors like Patagonia, Arc'teryx, and Rab now publish water-repellent coating certifications or offer PFAS-free lines; Toni Sailer's silence puts it in the less transparent tier of the category.
If you buy it
Rinse the jacket thoroughly in cold water before first wear to reduce residual manufacturing VOCs and loose finish particles. Air-dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight; never tumble-dry. Limit machine washing to cold water with mild detergent every 1-2 seasons; hot water and fabric softeners degrade water-repellent coating and increase leaching. Replace or retire the jacket if the shell develops visible cracking, peeling, or cloudiness in the water-repellent coating, which signals breakdown and potential leachate exposure during wet use.
