Did you just move the goalpost to talking about waterproof coatings that come from China because that’s not what the articles about

99% of all rain jackets for the last 50 years are waterproofed with pfas, that’s not a failing of China and changing the waterproofing for a shorter chained PFAS is probably a good direction( unless you have to use 100 times more over the lifetime of the jacket ) but the article doesn’t even tell you what type of PFAS they detected they probably don’t have the equipment to do that. Curious that you would assume that it was the ‘bad’ kind

No, I didn't move the goalposts. I was refuting your incorrect assertion that the only non-PFAS coating is that one Goretex product for $500 jackets worn by coastal elites.

Literally every part of your claim there was incorrect.

Anyway, you have proven that you are ignorant, that you are ludicrously rude, that you are aggressive for no reason, and that you are either unwilling or unable to have a civil conversation. We're done.
