Purchased new and leaned against the wall in my room for about a year as I didn't plan to use it. Since the nearby post office is closed on weekends and holidays, shipping will be next week if purchased then. It's ready to use as I've already threaded the belt. Please understand there might be minor scuffs from that process. This item has only been tried on and adjusted once in my room. It's a highly crafted, high-value product that is currently sold out on Amazon and is considered the best in its series. This chest wader uses W2 material with Warm Lock & Water Guard, ensuring high heat retention and waterproof performance. The W2 material structure features a 4mm thick neoprene material with excellent waterproof and cold-proof properties, with a 3D processed fabric as the inner layer to trap warm air. It's suitable for harsh seasons like winter and the opening of the fishing season in mountain streams. The large front pocket has a double structure: an open pocket that also serves as a hand warmer and a semi-waterproof pocket. It comes standard with a waist belt to prevent water entry in case of a fall, and the high-back specification is ideal for fishing from a floater where you are submerged in water for extended periods! The sole is a felt spike sole suitable for saltwater scenes like rocky shores. *The sole cannot be replaced. Although it has only been hung to dry and tried on in my room for a year, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details to avoid any trouble. (I used a small amount of the included adhesive.)
