I wasn't sure I wanted to buy the uniform because the sizing chart was not specific for me. I'm 6', 145lbs and I wasn't sure if I wanted the large which met my weight needs, or the XL which met my length needs. After much comparison with my Aikido gi and just fuzzy logic I decided to go with the large...bull's-eye! I got it, and it fits perfectly. I will now review each part of the uniform Jacket: Fits really well and looks really cool. the sleeves are a little short but it's meant to be that way so they won't get in the way of your movement. The gauntlets cover whatever the sleeves are too short to. I like the shuriken pocket. Gauntlets: A little modernized with the elastic, but they are still cool. The finger loop is a little tight, the velcro on the wrist is a little loose, and the upper elastic is tight as well. I'll probably cut them and use normal string/cord to make everything fit better. Pants: Very comfortable and cool once you get them on and tied. The instructions are a little vague but whatever works for you is fine. I like the knee and ankle ties. Hood and Mask: This is where the uniform loses a star. The mask is a little loose, but breathable which I like. The hood is a mess...It might be that I need a technique to wear it, but the tie is confusing and it shifts around obstructing your vision. The instructions didn't help All in all this is a recommended buy. You just have to figure out how to put it all on right. I don't, however recommend wearing this during the day in 90 degree sunshine like I did. This is strictly a cold day or night time outfit. Also be sure to wear an undershirt (black) with it, cause the open jacket exposes skin. You might also want to wear another belt over the jacket just to get a better fit.

I got them with the Ninja Costume set (best deal on the net) The short boots are pretty easy to get on (get the tabi socks you will not regret it!) Once on, the heel and ankle was a little loose, and of course an Amerika-jin is not used to such forms of footwear, but once I wore them around the house, took a few runs around the yard, I barely notice the looseness. I will get some cheap slipper insoles because these boots are high impact on the ground and I like a snug fit. My only real complaint is that the space in between my toes began to get sore after a while, but maybe it's just me since I just started wearing flip-flops and zori this year. All in all, these just look freakin awesome. I kept looking at my feet in the mirror I couldn't get over the awesomeness. Well worth the money and waiting for them on backorder.

I just got them in the mail. They work like a charm like i said in my last review. But i already lost one in the lawn. Very frustrating, so I would reccomend wrapping the ends with red tape or something just so they're easier to find. Still five stars. I'm going to order another set so i'll have five spikes.

My friend and I each bought one a few months ago. The bokken is formed using layers upon layers of polypropylene, so instead of breaking, the bokken VERY gradually peels off in paper thin flakes of plastic (mine has yet to peel at all). This is the most durable practice weapon you can buy and it's well worth the extra money over wood. I've done full contact sparring and stage fighting with this weapon and it has but a few dents and nicks in the ''blade.'' To prove it's durability, I've hit concrete edges with full strikes to find no significant damage to the bokken. It's very very flexible, and very light (like a real katana) This thing is virtually indestructible. The only downside is a slippery handle (which can be fixed with rough gaffer's tape) and an unnatural feel that you would otherwise get with hardwood bokkens. I wouldn't recommend anything else.
