I'm surprised that a Korean line of clothing could be so large. (Not trying to be stereotypical, but I have purchased a lot of clothing from this country before - it's usually the opposite story -- too small/tight.) Based on the reviews, I expected the mask portion to sag down... but I didn't think the entire hood would.

It droops down my forehead so far that I can hardly see where I'm going. If not fastened by the shoelace-cords, I'm forced to constantly yank it back every couple of minutes while I'm walking. Don't get me wrong, the huge drooping style is definitely cool-looking (almost reminiscent of Assassin's Creed - where the hood is not only covering your eyes, but the bridge of your nose too.) but it's just not going to work for traveling. Sitting around in a room, looking all ninja and shady is one thing. But not useful if you need to move around like a true ninja. In a few instances, it's put my life in danger walking across the crowded in intersections of the city I live at during night time, and I can't see oncoming traffic that well. I have to tighten the fit by pulling the strings, which sort of works, but defeats the purpose of having this thing look nice (and I don't know about you, but that was one of the key factors that made me interested in this item - more-so than keeping warm in the winter.) When tightened, the material hugs around your skull tightly and looks pretty squashed and unappealing. But at least it makes the hood functional.

It's quite a shame because it is such a soft, comfortable hood. I just wish I could get it to work for me while having it still look nice - like in the picture.

I've found myself using it more often as a scarf or turtleneck than a hood. It actually serves 'that' job pretty well, and looks rather good if you tuck back the hood and take the time to get the mask/collar portion to stick up high. That's the only 'cool-factor' I can accomplish with this mask, I can't do it with the hood being up.

They must have used a gigantic mannequin head to put that mask on. It will look nothing like that on a real human head without some sort of modification.(I myself have a larger than average head, and a huge, protruding nose shape. If it's not going to fit me, it's probably not going to fit you) I read that someone else modified it by piercing a hole through and using an extra piece of shoelace to bind the mask closer to the hood. I don't really want to go through that trouble...I'm already having problems keeping the laces that come with the hood fastened... I don't want to deal with more complication.

So to conclude, there's a lot of things wrong with it, and it definitely is disappointing for those who expected the mannequin to give an accurate representation of the proper look and fit of the item. But it still works for me when I don't want to get all stifling in a hoodie-sweatshirt, and rather wear a thinner shirt while still keeping my head warm.

So before you buy, keep in mind the disappointments: You will NOT get the look found in the product pictures without spending time modifying the mask, (Or have an inhumanly large skull.)It will be a nuisance getting this thing to stay put. (even tightening it all the way doesn't always help - it loosens by itself the more I walk and eventually droops down in front of my eyes a little). Also keep in mind you may have to wait almost 2 weeks like I did (or more) for it to arrive at your door. As long as you realize these things before you buy it, and can learn to tolerate/fix them - I say go for it.
