8 Functional Jackets 10/2020

Weatherproof clothing can contain harmful chemicals. Can it be done without? Stiftung Warentest tested eight two-layer functional jackets that are fluorine-free according to their suppliers. The results were disappointing. None of the test dummies stayed dry. Four jackets were rated satisfactory, one of them just missed a good rating. Four models are only adequate. One functional jacket in the test is not fluorine-free at all, and the cheapest jacket is also the worst (prices: 100 to 220 euros).
