adidas Entrada 22 All Weather Jacket Kids
Water-resistant apparel; water-repellent coating coatings often contain PFAS. Adidas discloses nothing.
Adidas Entrada 22 uses water-repellent coating finish on polyester. Brand provides no PFAS disclosure or testing data; standard water-repellent coating treatments carry PFAS risk.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
The Entrada 22 is 100% polyester with a water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) finish. Polyester itself is stable, but the water-repellent coating, applied to shed water without soaking, is the chemical concern. Most water-repellent coating treatments on budget-range children's apparel use PFAS compounds (fluorocarbon chains) because they are cheap and effective. Polyester fabric can also be finished with formaldehyde-based resins to improve wrinkle resistance and shape retention, a common practice in sportswear.
The brand's record and disclosure
Adidas has made public commitments to phase out PFAS in some product lines but provides no transparency on the Entrada 22 specifically. The brand does not publish material safety data sheets or water-repellent coating chemistry for children's apparel. No recalls or safety alerts are on record for this model. Adidas is a major player in sportswear but lags competitors like some premium brands in proactive PFAS disclosure for budget lines.
How it compares in its category
Children's water-resistant jackets at this price point (typically under $60) almost universally use PFAS-based water-repellent coating or similar treatments. Higher-end alternatives sometimes use wax-based or PFC-free water-repellent coating, but verification is difficult without label claims. Non-water-resistant polyester jackets eliminate water-repellent coating chemical risk but lose the functional benefit. The Entrada 22 is standard for budget sportswear; it does not stand out as either a safety leader or laggard in its segment.
If you buy it
Wash new garments separately before first wear to reduce surface residues and formaldehyde off-gassing. Use cool or warm water and mild detergent; avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade water-repellent coating and increase skin contact with coating breakdown products. Air dry or low heat only; high heat can damage polyester and accelerate coating degradation. Replace when water-repellent coating visibly fails (water no longer beads) or after heavy use, as degraded coatings may leach residual chemicals. For children with skin sensitivity, consider an undershirt barrier.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
PFAS in water-repellent coating
Water-resistant apparel at this price point almost certainly uses PFAS-based water-repellent coating. Adidas discloses nothing for this model. Skin contact, especially during sweating or wet conditions, can facilitate dermal absorption in children.
Formaldehyde-based finishing resins
Polyester sportswear routinely uses formaldehyde resins for wrinkle and shape retention. Off-gassing is highest in new garments and decreases with washing. No specific formaldehyde test data is available for the Entrada 22.
Antimony in polyester fiber
Antimony trioxide is a common polyester catalyst, but migration to skin contact is minimal unless the fiber is severely degraded or ingested. No evidence of elevated antimony in standard polyester children's wear.
Coating degradation and micro-exposure
As water-repellent coating coatings age, they can fragment into microparticles that may be inhaled or ingested, carrying residual fluorocarbon or resin compounds. This risk increases with washing cycles and mechanical stress.
Azo dyes
Adidas apparel is generally manufactured under restricted substance policies that limit high-risk azo dyes, though formal certification for this specific model is not published.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
