Picture is deceptive
The picture of the costume is very deceptive. It looks like the entire head is covered including the face, but actually you get a rubber cap that acts as the neck and there are cut outs for the eyes and nose. I bought this for my 8 year old and he said that it looks "weird" so he didn't want to wear it for Halloween. I assumed looking at the picture that your head would be around the shoulder area and that the costume was transparent there to see through.
OK but buy the next size up
My son was really looking forward to wearing this costume for their school's fall carnival. It came on the scheduled date and the material/quality seems to be comparable to other costumes of the same price range but is too small. We bought the medium one which was supposed to be for size 7 - 9, but the mask (neck part of the costume) would not even fit my 8 year old. The rest of the costume was a little too snug as well. My son, in no way, is big for his age. He actually still wear some of his size 7 clothes. It was too late to reorder/return the costume so we ended up buying a different costume from a local store. Should have listed to the other reviews. Bottom line - good costume but buy the next size up.
Great Costume
I purchased this costume for my 8 yr old son. He loved it. Everyone loved it. He was the only Horseman we saw all Halloween weekend. The mask is unconfortable though. I had to return my original for a larger size and cut out the eyehole to enlarge them. It wound up costing alot more than I wanted to spend. Shipping back to Amazon, then having to repurchase from Amazons 3rd party seller. All totaled about $50, for a $25 costume.
All said this is a very neat costume. I would just reccommend getting the next larger size that your child usually wears and modifying the mask.
