Patagonia Women's Bottom Turn Racerback Bikini Top
Lower concern, basic swimwear without water-repellent coating, though Patagonia's broader PFAS practices warrant review.
Patagonia's Bottom Turn racerback top is made from standard nylon and elastane without documented water-repellent or stain-resistant treatments that typically introduce PFAS. Patagonia does not disclose PFAS policies or test results for this item.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% 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.
