Purchased around 2007. It has been repaired once. There's no significant difference in appearance before and after the repair. There's a vertical tear on the upper left side, which can probably be repaired for around 3000 yen. It's been used quite a bit, but it's still in good working condition. I use several other Patagonia and North Face cold weather jackets, but I still feel this one has the best heat retention. Material (filling)...Polyester (padding) Color...Blue Type...Padded jacket (short/mid-length)
