I wore this for one season last year. I had other outerwear, so I didn't wear it often, but there are a few pills on the sleeves, and the chest area seems a bit faded. However, it's made of sturdy fabric and I think it's still usable, so I'd like to pass it on to someone who doesn't mind. The hood can be folded and stored in the back. How about this as an outerwear for getting dirty at the park?
