This has been a repeated headline for a while, but it's still clickbait IMO. The jackets will not 'be illegal'. Rather so-called forever chemicals are being regulated. The article it links to to cite 'illegal' says that analysts think that policy makers are considering new policy..
> Safer States’ 2024 analysis of anticipated state legislation addressing toxic chemicals and plastics across the country, suggests that PFAS “forever chemicals” could be banned in more uses than ever in 2024 state bills. Overall, at least 36 states will consider more than 450 bills on toxic chemical and plastics related policies. The analysis further finds that banning “forever chemicals” will continue to dominate in 2024, with at least 35 states introducing policies. Other significant legislation anticipated for 2024 will address toxic plastics, safe drinking water, and hazardous chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products.
Overall I wouldn't be surprised if Goretex and co PR teams aren't deliberately writing and spreading articles like these - it probably leads to a big jump in sales each time one goes around.
