Are there any outdoor brands that don't use poison like gore-tex or their own in-house poison? Fjallraven is the only thing I could find but they still use basically plastic clothing only too
>>2861096brugly if you're that deep in the rabbithole you need to be living in a cave in the high sierras getting water by hand from a seasonal creek. otherwise there's pollutants and carcinogens in every thing. wake up. welcome to the game.
>>2861100alright fine i guess fjallraven it is
>>2861096Are you talking about membranes in general? What's the problem with those? Please let me in on your hallucinations.
>>2861120gore-tex unironically gives you cancer just being near it even if you aren't wearing iti want whatever they used before gore-tex and polymers like that existed
>>2861096>poisonYeeeaaaah.We have a wool thread active and we have natural material threads every now and then. You can easily fashion a viable outfit of wool and cotton. Rain protection is the biggest problem, but you can either deal with the weight of a waxed cotton shell or wear a plastic poncho. These things are just polyester and polyurethane, no goretex, no impregnations.
>>2861122they used beeswax, melt it and add it. look for a tutorial on youtube
>>2861645Waxed cotton is early modern/modern. Before that, and still after, they used wool coaks.
>>2861672he asked what they used before gortex (and other ptfe coatings), so basically hes asking what they did in the early 1900s. they used beeswax
>>2861645that's if you can get your hands on something natural to cover in beeswax
As far as I recall Camel Active is an "outdoors" brand that barely has any items with membranes, water repellent, taped seams and so on.

>>2861962I'm seeing any source for cancer by "being near to it".
>>2861096This might be what you're looking for
>>2861964https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0013935124022771no more spoonfeeding, there are more but you can find them yourself fed retard
>>2861967>Living near PFAS-polluting facilityIs a goretex garment a facility? No. Are you a retard? Seems so.>Go and find the proof of what I saidNo.
>>2861967>when I make an outlandish claim it's YOUR responsibility to find proof that it's truelol, no, lmao

>>2861962did you even read the links that ChatGPT sent you? It gets into our bodies at traceable levels via ingestion, not skin contact or respiration. Assuming you're not using your coat as a soup bowl you should be ok.Now, as for other stuff, you gotta work backwards. How do you get something to be hydrophobic? You don't have a lot of options. Wax coatings are temporary and must be reapplied after a single season. Wool is great if your use of it is light, or if you have multiple jackets and cloaks, but is that reasonable? Not really.Just wear plastics, anon. You have so many layers between it and you that you'll be fine. If you've ever typed on a keyboard while eating food you've done more plastics damage to your body than 20 years of wearing goretex. good luck.
