Patagonia Men's Torrentshell 3L Rain Jacket
Lower PFAS concern; Patagonia has publicly transitioned Torrentshell to PFC-free water-repellent coating, but independent verification remains limited.
Patagonia explicitly states the Torrentshell 3L uses PFC-free water-repellent coating, part of their broader commitment to eliminate PFAS. The brand's supply-chain transparency and Bluesign® partnership add credibility. However, no third-party lab testing of this specific product is publicly available, so certainty remains modest.
Brand says: “Patagonia has committed to eliminating PFCs from all products and uses PFC-free water repellent treatments in the Torrentshell 3L.”
