My son wanted this for his Halloween costume this year.  As soon as he got it he put it on and went wandering the neighborhood in it!  The only problem with it, if it could be considered a problem, was that as the zipper got up towards top of the head it was a bit difficult to keep it's tails tucked in.  Also this ran a bit short.  I ordered according to my sons height and it was a bit of a "stretch" to fit top to bottom (he is very scrawny so weight was not the issue here).  Over all he loved this item and I'm sure it will see many random uses!
