Rubie's Adult Star Wars Supreme Edition Darth Vader Costume

For the money, this suit is incredible quality. As most of the other people have stated, there are 3 primary cons about the Suit. The cons are:1) The suit is a furnace. I know anakin had his limbs cut off so he had to be hermetically sealed inside, so that means you do too. The suit is very heavy and feels very high quality, but inside you slowly wither away into a raisin. Even with 60 degrees outside you’ve got about an hour or two before you need to start hydrating. If you wanna wear this in sunlight when it’s like 80-90 out? Good luck, you better wear a camelbak inside, because you’re gonna need it.2) the lenses in the helmet are trashy, filmy plastic that wraps and distorts your vision. The good news is you can buy replacement lenses on Etsy that are literally sunglassss quality, they’re like 15 bucks with shipping sent straight to you, can’t beat it.3) Very weak Velcro. There are certain parts of the suit that Velcro together, the Velcro that game with it either broke off or the adhesive came off making the Velcro pointless. I replaced it with high quality outdoor rated Velcro and it worked perfectly.There are three inconveniences with the costume, but still not deal breakers though. They are:1) The suit comes with everything you need, except boots. While I understand foot size varies, you still could have had a generic boot size of S, M or L to accommodate the outfit without having to purchase boots. Again, not the end of the world.2) the suit is (literally) impossible to put on by yourself. Unless you’re a gymnast or contortionist, you need someone to help you and get everything on. Not a big deal either, but it really should be stated that you will require a second person to get in it and out everything on.3) No voice changer. This is almost a must have for the costume (unless you plan to not talk) these are available online to buy on Etsy, but expect to pay another 250-300 for a good one.Now to the positives!1) incredible quality! From the suit to the plastics/armor, this is extremely impressive. To the average person, you look straight out of the films. With a couple minor adjustments (extra sewing/trimming/fitting) the entire outfit looks professional quality.2) Plan to be the star of wherever you go. My wife (Princess Leia in the photos) was beginning to become annoyed because EVERYONE and I mean everyone stopped and asked to take pictures, amazing moment for me, for my rebel terrorist wife, not so much.All in all, I couldn’t recommend the suit anymore if possible. If you don’t mind being drenched in sweat for your glorious service to the empire, you will not beat a better suit. May the force be with you!

I bought the XL Rubies Darth Vader costume and it fits me pretty much perfectly.I am 6' 4", weigh 260 lbs, and my waist size is 38.I originally had bought the standard, having tried on one before and being told it was standard, but as soon as i got that one in the mail it didn't even come up over my shoulders and wouldn't zip up in the back. It was very tight and just wouldn't fit even if i forced it. However, the XL fits me almost like a glove, with just a little extra room not to chafe on me or be baggy really. I'm super happy with the fit of the XL to my proportions, and am glad I returned the other one, for this one.The helmets really cool, is strong plastic. The wire and remote for the vader voice is pretty annoying, I think it should have been wireless. But other than that I'm pretty stoked on the helmet. The shoulders and leg greaves are strong plastic too, and feel pretty good quality. The cape is awesome, and is thick heavy material that feels quality. The main thing thats annoying about the costume is all the straps for everything, and the costume is pretty damn hot honestly, your going to absolutely sweat in it. Besides those things however, it looks and feels badass and I'm happy with my purchase. Its looks pretty damn authentic and awesome, unless your a nitpicking star wars psychopath fanatic. For the casual person though, It's everything you could possibly hope for and more. Totally psyched on it.

For the price, this costume is amazing! I'm 6'3" at 265 lbs. The arms are a little big and not long enough for me. The legs are long enough and a little on the large side around the calfs. Has enough room in the suite to get on pretty easily. Once zipped up, I was not able to lift my arms up completely. All the pieces fit perfectly and am absolutely in love with the costume. The electronic breathing sound is pretty much a junk piece as it is in the way in the helmet and sounds nothing like Darth Vaders breathing. Helmet is a little hard to see out of, but comfortable once on. You will need a hand to suit up. Just fyi. Body suit is pretty hot but will be perfect for Pacific NW Halloween nights.

I just wanted to take a moment to reiterate what you may read in some other reviews. Things I read too and said meh, how hot can it be? Let me tell you... the material that is used for the body suit breathes exactly none at all. Further, it is lined with an insulated type material. I have worn this costume indoors in full air conditioning, outside during Halloween at least once when it was in the low 40's, and it makes no difference at all. Your entire body is covered in sweat after just a short bit in this, sometimes to the extent you feel like you might pass out. It looks great, don't get me wrong, but my Lord... it is literally a heat stroke waiting to happen. The warmest I dared wear it in was a trunk or treat that started late afternoon around 4:30 while the sun was still out. It was low 50's, sweat was literally just almost pouring out the front of my mask. I had to take it off and head inside for a little bit to actually avoid what I thought could be heat stroke.I'll also add one more note for the sizing - I'm 6' 5" and weigh about 190. Based on other reviews, I went with the XL. It literally swallows me whole. There is a ton of space left in the crotch area that has to get bunched up and pulled to the side when wearing this. I'm thinking the XL may be preferred for guys weighing more because I definitely didn't need it for my height. The L probably would have worked a lot better.

Product arrived damaged straight out of the box. It is NOT X-Large.
