I can’t reconcile that with what the OP states:
"While the Shakedry fabric has been great for its characteristics as a cycling jacket (waterproofness, breathability and lightweight), the membrane also contains PFOA [ed. Perfluorooctanoic acid] chemicals, and Gore is dedicated to being PFOA-free by 2025[…]”
Certainly seems like shakedry is being phased out because it contains a (banned) toxic chemical. What am I getting wrong?
- qbasic_forever 4y agoLike I said creating the PTFE is the problem and where restrictions are being placed on those manufacturers.
- Jolter 4y agoI can’t find that in the article. Do you have a source for it? Regular gore-Tex is still on the market and it’s also based on PTFE so I must assume it’s the special formulations in Shakedry that are now banned. I e whatever PFOA is.
