This is a thin nylon jacket. I wore it for one season. There is a faint mark like glue on the back, but I don't think it's very noticeable (see photo 5). There is one scratch on the front zipper. Other than that, I don't see any noticeable stains or tears. The hood is removable. I have written my name on it, so I will cover it with a black marker. I will compress it and ship it in simple packaging.
