I bought this for my son because it was advertised as being pollen-resistant, but he never wears it... I've decided to sell it while it's still in good condition. You can turn it inside out and store it in the pocket, making it compact. It's not like folding an eco-bag, but more like crumpling it up and stuffing it in. There are wrinkles, but they should improve if you hang it up. I didn't see any noticeable stains or dirt, but please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about such things. It's a beige color that can be worn by both men and women.
