My 6 year old grandson had no problem seeing through the helmet as claimed by others who bought it. He was so thrilled that he got to wear a costume for Halloween he wanted.  10 points to grandma! lol After Halloween He added it to his toybox.  He received a light saber for Christmas and other he-man items to play soldier.  The costume is holding up to all the rough play of a boy his age!  I could not decide if I should have given the costume a four star rating for Educational Value for using his imagiation and decided on a three as it is not an item that all children would use...
