Material composition:

PFC-free Products bearing the label "PFC Free" or "PFC-free" guarantee that they do not contain any per- and polyfluorinated chemicals (PFCs). These PFCs are known for their water-, dirt-, and oil-repellent properties, which is why they are often used as chemical coatings in outdoor and functional clothing.

It is important to note that PFCs degrade extremely slowly and can therefore remain in the environment for a very long time. In addition, these chemicals pose a potential health risk to humans. According to Greenpeace, PFCs can be detected even in remote mountain lakes or in the blood of polar bears in the Arctic, far away from their original source.

Some manufacturers, such as Vaude, Jack Wolfskin, and Picture, deliberately avoid using PFCs in their products in order to minimize this environmental impact.
