Carhartt Universal Fitted Nylon Duck Bucket Seat Cover
Skip until Carhartt discloses water-repellent coating chemistry; nylon duck seat covers typically receive PFAS-based water treatments.
Carhartt's nylon duck bucket seat covers are designed to be water-resistant, but the brand does not disclose the water-repellent coating chemistry. Nylon workwear with water-repellent finishes commonly use fluorinated compounds (often PFAS). Without third-party testing or brand transparency, PFAS risk cannot be ruled out.

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.
