This item was purchased approximately 10 years ago and used for about a month (twice a week, approximately 8 times total, with each practice session lasting about 2-3 hours). After buying other practice equipment, I stopped using this tare (protective skirt) and stored it in a bag. I regularly aired it out in the sun and wind, and I believe it's a clean tare, as it has never been stained by mold or anything similar. I don't think I'll be using it in the future, so I'm putting it up for sale.
