Teflon free Winter suit and other winter clothing without Teflon is this available in the carp branch?

Seems that aquatexx bivvy's and derivatives such as Ventec also contain Teflon, so sleeping bags with Aquatexx and such also contain Teflon?

It is confirmed by DuPont's own researchers that PFOA is toxic says enough I think, on a bivvy okay but to wear it on your skin for a long time or to sleep in it doesn't seem wise to me.

Teflon has been used for years in many applications including non slip pans as well as food production. I think of it was dangerous we'd know about it.

Watch the film Dark Waters and then you'll.find out how *safe* the stuff is.

Considering how it was proven with DuPont's own research that entered into court documents and the subsequent fines they received that it's still allowed to be used to this day is staggering. Teflon is as toxic as f..k.

Strangely enough I've read that it's not so bad with frying pans, just as long as the coating doesn't come off and you ingest it. Clothing and things that come into close contact with your skin is the problem or the chemicals in the water.from industrial processing.

The chemical C8 which is known to cause cancers like testicular cancer and birth defects is estimated.to be in 99% of Americans blood and the same in other developed countries. Dupont have changed from the C8 chemical to their new formula called Gen X with similar results found in studies as what what found in C8 in relation to it's poisonous effects.

I've seen dark waters and it's definatley shocking, however it's in everyone's blood already so just get on with it.
