Purchased about three years ago and used from autumn to spring. There is noticeable fading and pilling, but it's within a range that doesn't affect use. Since the functionality isn't diminished, it's recommended for those who only use it indoors or those who want to try it out. As it's an older product, I couldn't find a size chart, but I repurchased a current product and am using it now, and the size feels about the same. TENTIAL WELLNESS WEAR BAKUNE (Navy, L)
