Patagonia Kids' Outdoor Everyday Pants
Lower concern, Patagonia has phased out PFAS-based water-repellent coating in kids' apparel; organic cotton base is a plus.
Patagonia Kids' Outdoor Everyday Pants use organic cotton with a water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) finish. The brand has publicly committed to removing PFC-based PFAS from apparel treatments and has transitioned to PFAS-free alternatives.
Brand says: “Patagonia has committed to eliminating PFAS from all apparel DWR treatments and uses PFC-free water repellent finishes”
