We got this for our 6 year old son's Halloween costume.... and it is a huge success! I read other reviews before I purchased it and was deciding between the adult and children's version because of hearing about the size of the hat; our son has quite the noggin on him. Well, he is only 6 and so we went with the children's version, and it was the right choice. The hat is durable, fits fine, looks "authentic", and as we were trick or treating everyone knew who he was immediately. The whip is fine, surprisingly sturdy, he likes to practice his "moves" with it. I can see in the future it tearing or something, but I am very pleased with all of the play and action it has withstood so far. I would definitely recommend this for your little Indiana Jones fan, ours loves it!
