I ordered the helmet for Carnival 2013, and because I've always wanted to have him as an old Star Wars fan. (always, not just since the hype)
He is in my opinion the best, while "most faithful" way to dress up as Darth Vader.
The set is adult.
The mask is contrary to the picture slightly different. The "grid" is not silver. For the nose (this small semi-circular indentation above the grid. And the points are silver, left and right of the grid)
The set consists of 2 parts that are connected by a Velcro, which I can put on and off the helmet-mask set without "open" it.
The helmet without mask can be worn as an adult (!) In theory, but then he sits not sure / solid and the Velcro becomes entangled in the hairs and scratches on the scalp. Mask without a helmet is not held by the Velcro and the helmet. (No elastic)
My little brother (9) can also wear the helmet, but stuffed. Three small sponges with double-sided tape stuck purely and voila!
In children, however, the helmet looks even better, because even Darth Vader has a disproportionate helmet.
See: getting used to, through this wavy, curved and slightly tinted film can really only close (straight) see reasonably well. Climbing stairs I imagine difficult but habs not yet been tested. But look down is already not easy.
The eyes of the outside film is just as transparent as from the inside. I'll probably his eyes like a Panda paint, so you can see not so much light.
Talk: Works of course, you have to speak up, however, so that people outside hear you well. Which in turn by the sound means that it is very noisy in the helmet / mask set. : D
Listen: Does everything very lightly steamed.
Breathe: Phew, I'll suffocate determined. Was my first thought. And also my second. Of course, you get air. But I find bad.
I've already seriously considering the diamonds to increase at the lower grid, or simply use a real wire mesh.
It is through breathing also quite warm in the helmet.
But for that I need an umbrella in case it rains.
Must be removed to eat, drink, smoke helmet. (But I will not, I'll probably have to build a SchlauchStrohalmZigarettenspitzenadapterwasauchimmer)
I assume that the first Velcro gives up the ghost, but one can easily exchange. The helmet holds also some, I think that he is not as fast breaks, if it falls down times.
Conclusion
I would like to receive this Darth Vader mask and helmet set order at any time, simply because so cool.
