Eddie Bauer Men's Ranger Relaxed Fit Straight Leg Pants
Lower PFAS concern for basic cotton chinos, no performance coating triggers, but Eddie Bauer hasn't published PFAS safety info.
Eddie Bauer's Ranger pants appear to be standard cotton or cotton-blend twill with no water-repellent or stain-resistant treatment applied, which are the primary vectors for PFAS in casual apparel. The brand does not publicly disclose PFAS policies or test results.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 78% 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.
