This is a beautiful jacket. I have worn it a lot and it has subtle signs of wear. In some areas the thread in the patterned stitching has come out and the wrist holes have some pilling and mild discoloration. But none of it is visible when you wear it. Patagonia products withstand the test of time and hold up with wear. This jacket still has a lot of life in it. Pricing low because of mild signs of wear.
