I think this costume is wonderful.  You get 2 costumes in one.  Which makes it worth it, plus less "things" laying around in your kids room.  My son is in Spiderman mode, and is all about it. He wore this costume for the first 3 days non stop.  He even fell asleep with the mask on once, I had to stop letting him take it to bed with him because of that!  I did order a size larger just because I wanted him to have plenty of time with it.  So its large but I sewed up the legs so he doesn't drag them around.  Overall it has held up very well to be taken on and off several times a day.  Folks complaining about runs in the fabric, its just that kind of costume fabric.  All costumes do it, though ours has not.
