Like the photo, one is dealing here with a HELMET and not just a mask. In 2 parts, front and rear, to assemble (it must completely remove the "ear" side, max out the 2 parts and reclipser the atria over by inserting the viewfinder). The plastic is hard enough but not super-stiff. The headset looks good, it looks nice and is GREAT for adults, but its default (hence -1 star) is that apart from a pad provided for the top of the head (practice), there is no attachment system neck or internal callage. So the helmet extends well over the head, motionless, but slips and moves at the slightest movement! You will have to tinker a foam / internal support system if you have you move with, if only to turn heads! In short, a beautiful decorative object or a start / complement for a bounty hunter costume if a few tweaks put you off!
