I purchased this item for my 7 year-old daughter. She's a red belt and usually has to spar with 9 year-olds at tournaments, so we purchased this item to protect her pretty face. The shield is well made, but it does not integrate well with the Macho Warrior Face Shield it's supposed to be designed for. Specifically, the openings on the face shield are not shaped or positioned properly to easily accommodate the velcro straps that thread though them. The pink skin on the Warrior gear is very thin and the sharp edges of the velcro straps cut into them. I'm not confident that they will last long and hope that Macho redesigns this item to work more seamlessly with the face shield. Also, with the face shield in place (and you will not want to remove it often as it's so hard to put on) it's rather difficult for her to get the face shield on since it's very snug and the chin guard covers part of the opening. It may be the best thing out there, but it could be a lot better!
