Salomon Men's Moon Patrol GORE-TEX Bib
GORE-TEX bibs use water-repellent coating coatings; Salomon has not disclosed PFAS use or elimination, proceed with caution.
Salomon's Moon Patrol bib features GORE-TEX, which historically relied on PFOA/PFAS-based water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) treatments. While Gore has publicly committed to phasing out legacy PFAS, Salomon does not disclose current PFAS content or certifications.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% 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.
