Patagonia Women's Slim Work Denim Pants
Lower concern, untreated cotton denim with no known water-repellent coating finish; standard wear item.
Patagonia's Slim Work Denim is untreated cotton-blend denim without advertised water-repellent or stain-resistant coatings, which are typical PFAS vectors. Patagonia does not disclose PFAS practices for this item, but the absence of functional finishes needing fluorochemistry reduces risk compared to waterproof outerwear.

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.
