According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), more than 10,000 different PFAS chemicals exist today, and a lot of them probably ended up in the last rain gear you bought.
That's because PFAS naturally repel water, stains, and grease, the exact qualities that keep kids dry when they splashing in a puddle instead of walking around it. But repelling water isn't the only thing those chemicals do, and not all of them are the kind you want sticking around.Most people never think to ask what's actually in their raincoat.
's textile labs test the fabric in these types of textiles for PFAS and other chemical compounds, so brands know precisely what they're selling.
That clarity is what lets brands move toward newer, PFAS-free alternatives without losing the performance that makes a raincoat worth wearing.
