This is well loved. Purchased in 2008 and used every ski season... the bad: Rip on left sleeve that Descente professionally corrected in 2009 Some wear around cuffs and at seems Sometimes the zipper works and sometimes you're skiing down the hill and it unzips from the bottom Descente logo on front missing partial letter the good: Still a really sharp looking coat, the silver accents are cool Warm and windproof Detachable hood Inside waist snow guard Comes from pet free, smoke free home
