I purchased this item from this site three years ago. I am selling it because my child has outgrown it. I used it for playing in the snow, about 2-3 times a year. It can be used as is, but I recommend using a water repellent spray just in case. Please understand that the item was stored using my own personal storage methods. There is a tear in the hem. The size is adjustable, so I think it can be worn for several seasons. Gloves were also included, but I stored them without using them. Please use them together. Please note that I will ship the item as compactly as possible. Thank you.
