Black Diamond Mission 4P Tent
Skip unless brand discloses water-repellent coating chemistry; tent waterproofing is a common PFAS vector with no public transparency.
Black Diamond does not publicly disclose the chemical composition of the Mission 4P's water-repellent coating. Tents typically use water-repellent coating finishes that historically relied on PFOA/PFAS-based treatments, though newer non-PFAS options exist.

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.
