   I saw this at a convention recently and it was AMAZING! IT retails for over $1,000 and is sold out pretty much everywhere, I LOVE THIS and will be getting one for Halloween!

   The costume is awesome, don’t get me wrong. It is a good replica of the real concept, albeit with a vinyl jumpsuit and Chinese-made ABS plastic.
   
   The suit looks and feels good, or rather, the armor pieces are a good representation of what you’d wear in a replica suit.
   
   The cod-piece strap broke after a day of trying on, luckily i had a glue gun and quickly repaired. Also, many of the straps to attach the armor pieces seemed…flimsy. Like it was too easy to tear off. It was obvious they used some sort of industrial glue, or maybe just a glue gun, but it seemed to not withstand some forces (e.g., pulling, wrapping around body, etc.). I’d recommend a much stronger adhesive for keeping the strap mounts on the armor pieces.
   
   The helmet was really good, although the manner of holding/mounting the battery compartment (for the LED lights) to the helmet seems odd and not the most secure.
   
   Lastly, the jumpsuit. I HIGHLY recommend incorporating some/many ventilation “cuts” into the jumpsuit. I probably sweat far too much of my body’s water weight through the jumspuit (over the course of 2 nights). I actually went ahead and cut several “slashes” into the jumpsuit in hope of allowing some air to come through the suit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND all-over ventilation of the jumpsuit.
   
   And WHY AREN’T THERE any pockets, ANYWHERE, on the suit?? Very easy to stitch on pockets…. I ended up wearing shorts w/pockets underneath the suit, and cut openings into the suit approximately where one’s hands would go into the “pantleg” of a normal pant.

   Overall though a great pickup. INSTANT HEAD-TURNER. Damn near universal recognition wherever i went.

   Make the improvements i suggested, and you’ll get a 5/5. 4/5 for now.
   
   If you’re still going to buy – keep a glue gun and other small tools available, to fix any small strap issues, etc.

   I bought this for halloween 2009. The black jump suite is fairly big. You have to be 6′ to really fit into it. I am 5-6, and the suite fit ok, but was very loose even under the armour (another issue). All the armour has strapps/velcro. Is you are thin, the jump suite does not allow you to velcro the armour in the correct positions. There should be multiple locations for velcro. The helmet does not fit snug. You have to have a head the size of a watermellon. It should come with addition foam inserts to allow for the perfect fit. The visor opening is so small, you have absolutely no vision to the left/right.
   
   Worth $600?….not really. Over all, glad I bought it…spent $600….wore it…and now it sits for history.

   I didn’t want to write a review for this item, but the workmanship of this item was so poor that I needed to let people know what this item entails. Be warned: this suit needs to be prepped prior to wearing – give yourself some time to properly customize this suit to fit you right, and to reglue and retie broken hooks and ties.

   Prior to purchasing this item, I spent a great deal of time researching this costume. This costume got great ratings and feedbacks from almost every website, and so I decided to get this Halo Supreme Edition suit by Rubies as a Christmas present for me. Now I wish I didn’t. Lets start with the positive things about this suit…First, it’s a decent replica of Halo Master Chief’s suit. Second, I got it from Amazon for less than the suggested retail price. Third, free shipping from Amazon was awesome – fast and the box arrived in great condition

   Now, the bad news. First, this suit was made in China and it shows ;#. The ABS plastic is downright cheap and painful…alot of the edges are rough and have not been sanded down. The velcro used to attach the pieces are badly glued…glue marks are every where. On some of the gear items, the velcro could not hold together because plastic panels were rivoted badly. My leg and thigh pieces that are put together differently…inconsistent overlapping of panels, exposed seams, and poor rivoting. I’m not an expert on ABS armor manufacturing, but man, where’s the quality control inspector? It’s brutal. And yes, the quilted jump suit is hot – be warned – you need to have long torso and short leg to fit this jump suit. I’m 5’10″, 44R chest, 33R pants, 180 lbs, and athletic built, and this jumpsuit was a little long for me.

   I’m glad I bought this item early – got 10 more months until Halloween. I have time to tailor the jumpsuit to fit me right…might have to convert the jump suit into a two-piece suit, add more velcro patches, and install a zipper in the front of the pants for those quick restroom stops. In addition, I need to reglue some of the broken hooks and re-rivot the various armor panels the right way. This is more than what I originally had in mind.

   The bottom line is that you might not get that awesome suit you see on the box. It may require some sweat and cash to make it right…so, give yourself some time. Hope this review helps.

   The costume is good…but the price is very high. The mask on the picture is MISSLEADING. If you bought this at a retail store…you would clearly see how the mask is made.

   The visor is not all see through. About 50% of the outer area is painted with a reflective bronze paint. The other 50% (in the middle area of the visor) has see through plastic that has a bronze tint.

   The jump suit itself is great quality…but mine seems to be missing Velcro that would hold the leg guards nicely in place.

   The costume looks great…but gets very hot! Over all I would be more happy if the mask had a better visor and the Velcro would have been with the suit. I wonder if anyone else had this problem.
