This is a 686 water-repellent sweatshirt. I've used it a few times. I didn't wear it much, so I'm selling it since it's been stored away. It's a water-repellent sweatshirt, so it's less likely to get wet from snow compared to a regular sweatshirt. The pockets are also separated, with a dedicated space for an iPhone, so you won't lose it. There are no noticeable stains or frays.
