Used for three months at a ski school. There are scratches and dirt overall from use, but there are no broken buckles. Operation is not difficult, I think. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection, as this is an item used by a child. It can be tough to buy new ones every year for children who quickly outgrow things. Please use them heavily as seasonal items. There is no dedicated box, so I will ship it using a reused box. Also, due to shipping costs, a significant price reduction is difficult. Thank you for your understanding.
