Red nylon ski parka with red, green, white floral tape trim on front and back, near the neck. The neckline zips open to mid-chest, creating a high collar when closed. There is an attached hood. There is a small, zippered pouch on the center front at the bustline. The right sleeve bears a shield-shaped patch with an image of a skier and the inscription, "USEASA 1955 JUNIOR". The cuffs of the sleeves encase elastic. The bottom of the coat is hemmed, but does not encase elastic. A tag at the neck reads, "Lot 1488".
