However, PFAS, the abbreviation for polyfluorinated alkyl substances, have since fallen into disrepute due to the enormous health risks for consumers, which is why the EU has been discussing a complete ban since 2023 and some countries and states, such as <strong>France, have already implemented it.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Functional clothing as a use case<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the past, athletes came into contact with PFAS, especially in functional clothing. Gore-tex used the chemicals in the same way as almost all other membrane manufacturers. Polyfluorinated and perfluorinated chemicals are mainly found in waterproof membranes or in zippers, for example. In general, there are already some companies in the outdoor sector that do not use PFAS at all. <strong>VAUDE<\/strong>, for example, is one of them, but <strong>Patagonia<\/strong> and <strong>Houdini<\/strong> are also not launching any new products with PFAS on the market.    <\/p>\n<p>We wanted to know: What is the situation in golf, where waterproof and water-repellent products play a major role? The positive news first: some well-known brands are communicating very clearly that they are phasing out the use of PFAS. In addition to Cherv\u00f2, this includes industry giant <strong>Nike<\/strong>, which has stated in its regulations on the use of chemicals that it has been phasing them out since 2024. Swedish manufacturer <strong>Abacus<\/strong> has also been phasing out PFAS since 2021. &#8220;At Abacus, we work according to the precautionary principle, which means that we are aware of the harmfulness of chemicals and avoid them,&#8221; explains <strong>Design Manager Chis Mattson<\/strong>. <strong>Galvin Green<\/strong>also completely <strong>avoids<\/strong>the use of PFAS, whether in the materials themselves or in their coating.      &#8220;We started moving away from PFAS-based treatments a few seasons ago and in Autumn\/Winter 2024 we launched our first full collection of waterproof garments, windproof garments and thermal mid-layers made with PFC-free (PFAS-free) water repellent finishes such as Teflon EcoElite&#x2122; and Bionic-Finish\u00ae Eco,&#8221; concludes <strong>Mikhel Ruia, Managing Director of Glenmuir &amp; Sunderland of Scotland.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite the changeover, Sunderland of Scotland, for example, is sticking to its product promise of waterproofness: &#8220;We are proud that our current sustainable finishes offer long-lasting water repellency without compromising breathability, comfort or weather protection &#8211; and as always are backed by our lifetime waterproof guarantee,&#8221; is Ruia&#8217;s satisfied conclusion after the move away from PFAS materials for the company, just like everyone else, faced with numerous extensive product tests.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-o4jtyw-88595d67782a473e66b70757034f4bb0 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>INSERT_STEADY_NEWSLETTER_SIGNUP_HERE<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mgoyjdf4-864713d7bd1eae4271151fb60b954430 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p><strong>Little transparency in retail<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If we look at all other brands, the analysis becomes much more difficult for the consumer, as the &#8220;No to PFAS&#8221; is no longer explicitly included in the product information or communication on the subject is almost completely omitted from the websites. Even the major online portals rarely include this information in the product description, making it almost impossible for golfers to differentiate. <\/p>\n<p>Then there are the confusing terms: For some products, such as Kjus or Titleist, the manufacturer&#8217;s label uses the statement &#8220;PFC-free DWR&#8221;, which stands for the use of no or very few fluorinated chemicals. However, it cannot be ruled out that some parts, such as the zippers, still contain PFAS components. <\/p>\n<p>When using rain materials, the older they are, the more likely they are to contain PFAS, because the debate about chemicals has only really led to new product developments in recent years. If you choose from the latest collections, you have a much higher chance of buying equipment that already uses PFAS alternatives. In general, the EU discussion about planning a PFAS ban alone has led manufacturers to start phasing out harmful chemicals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mgoywh6m-70646c47cf70f70668e8eaf356d28e89\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mgoywh6m-70646c47cf70f70668e8eaf356d28e89 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mgoywh6m-70646c47cf70f70668e8eaf356d28e89 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mgoywh6m-70646c47cf70f70668e8eaf356d28e89 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-has-copyright av-copyright-always'  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-31996 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-31996 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/abacus-chemicals-policy-1500x630.png\" alt='Website Abacus Chemicals Policy' title='Abacus chemicals policy'  height=\"630\" width=\"1500\"  \/><\/div><small class=\"avia-copyright\">Abacus communication about chemical products is transparent and clear. <\/small><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mgoyygxg-52dd309cc18274b732e9a1d2500c690a '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p><strong>Rainwear without PFAS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Abacus:<\/strong> Abacus joined the &#8220;No to PFAS&#8221; movement in 2021 and converted its product lines.

This refers to a group of chemical compounds consisting of carbon and fluorine atoms. They were developed in the 1960s. They are water, grease and dirt repellent and have been used in many products for decades: in pans and rainwear, but also in ski wax and cosmetics, to name just a few examples.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Are PFAS already banned?  <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. The European Chemicals Agency ECHA has submitted a proposal for a general restriction in 2023 that would affect a large number of chemicals. A decision on this proposal is expected by the end of 2026. In addition, the EU is planning to limit the use of PFAS in consumer goods, including textiles, more strictly. However, there are also exceptions. In France, PFAS will generally be banned in textiles from January 2026. In Denmark, the import and sale of textiles containing PFAS to private individuals will be banned from July 2026.      <\/p>\n<p><strong>Do PFAS degrade?  <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PFAS do not occur in nature.
