Coleman Evanston 6-Person Screened Tent
Coleman does not disclose tent coating chemistry; waterproofing raises concern.
Coleman's Evanston tent uses waterproof-coated polyester but provides no transparency on water-repellent coating chemistry or PFAS content. Tent waterproofing treatments commonly use PFAS; no third-party verification available.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 40% 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.
