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

brugly 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.

Are you talking about membranes in general? What's the problem with those? Please let me in on your hallucinations.

gore-tex unironically gives you cancer just being near it even if you aren't wearing it

i want whatever they used before gore-tex and polymers like that existed

>poison
Yeeeaaaah.

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.

Waxed cotton is early modern/modern. Before that, and still after, they used wool coaks.
