Stance Blend In Hike Crew Socks
Lower concern, basic crew socks with no reported water-resistant coating.
Stance Blend In Hike Crew Socks appear to be a standard cotton-blend hiking sock with no advertised water-resistant or stain-guard treatment, which are the main vectors for PFAS in apparel. The brand makes no PFAS claims and offers no third-party verification.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 75% 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.
