I bought this last year and used it for one season. The jacket has a hole in the back hem from rubbing, and some of the wire is showing. The pants have some areas on the seat that are scuffed. It has a cool design and is very easy to move in. How about it for beginners or those thinking of starting snowboarding? I'm selling it because I no longer use it. I bought it new, but since it has been used, there may be scratches and stains that are not visible in the photos. This is a used item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Thank you.
