This is a used item that my child used. There are no noticeable stains overall, but there may be some sand or other small particles inside. There is a name written on it, and there is a slight scratch on the area where the name was written with a marker... see photo 8. The zipper moves smoothly, and it was easy for my child to put on and take off (^ ^) I am not considering lowering the price until the end of summer!
