Salewa Midway VI Tent
Tent tent uses standard waterproof treatment; PFAS status unclear without brand disclosure.
The Salewa Midway VI is a three-season tent with polyester fabric and a waterproof coating, but Salewa does not publicly disclose whether the coating contains PFAS or specify the treatment chemistry. Waterproof outdoor gear commonly uses fluorinated water-repellent coating finishes, though some brands now offer PFAS-free alternatives.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% 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.
