Purchased from The North Face in Kamakura about two and a half years ago, used repeatedly for short periods for about six months, and then stored at home in a closet after home cleaning. While there are no major scratches or stains, there are signs of use, such as slight pilling and loose threads on the upper surface of the North Face mark. There are also areas below the North Face mark on the same material that appear slightly white with what looks like scratches. (Both are only noticeable upon close inspection. Please refer to photos 3 and 4.) Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about aging or signs of use. The instruction manual and carrying bag are included as accessories. It will be shipped folded and placed in the bag.
