Halara Low Rise Hiking Bootcut Pants with Pockets
Lower-risk basic hiking pants; no water-repellent coating evident, but no public PFAS disclosures from Altra or third-party testing.
Halara hiking pants appear to be untreated synthetic blends without advertised water-repellent or stain-resistant finishes, the main PFAS vector in apparel. Altra does not publicly disclose PFAS use in this product or claim PFAS-free status. No third-party lab data or certifications are available to confirm absence.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 68% 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.
