Patagonia Kids' Torrentshell 3L Rain Jacket
Lower PFAS concern; Patagonia's documented shift to PFC-free water-repellent coating is credible but third-party verification is limited.
Patagonia publicly discontinued PFC-based water repellent treatments and claims PFC-free alternatives in Torrentshell 3L jackets. The company holds Bluesign® certification, which restricts harmful chemicals.
Brand says: “Patagonia moved away from PFC-based durable water repellent treatments and uses PFC-free alternatives in Torrentshell 3L”
