I am selling this item because it has become too small for my daughter, who is 155cm tall. It seems to fit children up to about 150cm. There is no opening for pads. There is some fraying on the lining around the chest area, so I have listed it as having scratches and stains, but it does not affect wear, and the outer fabric is clean like new, with no fraying or pilling. The color doesn't come out well in the photos, but it's a dark turquoise blue (see photo 3). Please consider purchasing!
