Coleman 4-Person Cabin Camping Tent w/Instant Setup
Moderate concern: typical camping tents use water-repellent coating coatings that historically contained PFAS; Coleman does not disclose treatment specifics.
Coleman's 4-person cabin tent uses polyester with a waterproof coating, but the company does not publicly specify whether the water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) treatment is PFAS-based or PFAS-free. Most budget and mid-range camping tents historically relied on fluorinated compounds for water resistance.

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.
