 Not worth $30, let alone $60 - excellent customer service, though Sep 10, 2007
By Kathleen
Got this for my son for Halloween since he's big into firefighters at the moment. Figured that since it had an award for quality that it would be comparable to the $50 one I've seen as well. Especially since it was originally priced at $60.
Unfortunately, the material is the cheap, thin polyester-type stuff that tears easily and the patch was glued on, not sewed on (it fell off literally in the first 5 minutes my son was wearing it). Hopefully shouldn't be too big of a deal since I can hopefully sew it back on for him, but for $30, I expected better quality.
The item says it comes with an adjustable helmet, but I originally received only the costume without the helmet. In Dress Up America's defense, when I contacted them about the issue, they shipped a helmet immediately (not adjustable, though) at no extra charge.
It's not a horrible costume, but the award and the price lead you to believe it's a high quality costume. We'll be lucky if this lasts though Halloween night.

 Don't get suckered into buying this... Sep 08, 2007
By E. Yeakley
"mredward"
I originally intended to buy the Aeromax fire fighter costume for my child, but could not find it anywhere in his size (4/6). This one caught my eye, and since the page stated it was "award winning" I thought this might be a suitable replacement. I was wrong.
First off, instead of being a durable cotton outfit (like the Aeromax) this one is made of a thin polyester material. Not too realistic looking. The "reflector" stripes are just brightly colored strips of polyester and have no reflective capability (as the Aeromax does). The embroidered patch was not sewn on but glued. My son managed to pull it off in about 30 minutes. And the helmet is not adjustable (as the web page states) but is a one-size-fits-all.
Obviously, I was very, very disappointed in this purchase. It's nowhere near worth the $30 they are charging. You'd probably find a similar outfit at some place like Target or Walmart for less than $10.
Buyer beware...

disappointing Nov 16, 2008
By Caroline Kuhlman
"Boston Mom"
This costume was very poorly made. The first time my son had it on the velcro came off the jacket as I pulled the ends. Also no helmet is included! The picture is very misleading. Overall not worth the cost at all!

This was a very cute costume & seems durable (not cheap looking). There is a hood that comes with it that confused the 3 year old I bought it for, but if you add a helmet, it works great.

In the product details, it stated..
Product comes complete with: Jacket, Pants, Hood and Helmet
I recieved the package a week and a half before halloween and realized that it did not in fact come with the helmet. I had to improvise with his cheap plastic helmet that the fire dept. gave him, because at that point in time I couldn't find any in the stores.
The costume itself was really good quality and looked more realistic than some of the other firefighter costumes you can find, so I would still recommend it, but make sure you order a good hat to go with it, regardless what the product details say.
