Dockers Men's Ultimate Chinos Athletic Fit
Skip unless Dockers discloses water-repellent coating chemistry; standard chinos carry PFAS risk.
Dockers Ultimate Chinos are treated for water and stain resistance, features typically achieved with PFAS-based water-repellent coating coatings in mainstream apparel. Dockers does not publicly disclose whether their water-repellent coating treatment contains PFAS or alternatives. No third-party verification or PFAS-free claim found.

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.
