Gap Boys Tech Performance Polo Shirt
Skip or request material safety data; Gap Kids does not disclose water-repellent coating chemistry.
Gap's 'Tech Performance' polo uses synthetic moisture-wicking technology typical of athletic wear, which often relies on fluorinated water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) coatings, but Gap provides no transparency on the specific treatment chemistry. The brand makes no PFAS claims, third-party certifications, or disclosures.

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.
