Overall

Initial ContactThey emailed me back within 48 hours and were very responsive every step of the way.


Maker CommunicationExtremely satisfied with the professionalism and friendliness of the company. Excellent response times and easily answered my questions and concerns.

Project Completion TimeThe ETA was initially 8-12 months, however they had it in the mail and at my doorstep in 7 months.


Overall Project QualityI'm extremely happy with my fursuit. The tiny, nitpicking issues were handled professionally and without incident. The suit has lasted through some rough times at several conventions and the creators are very generous and helpful with any and all questions or concerns. I'm definitely getting a second/updated suit from Desert Fizz without a doubt. Amazing product and even more amazing people. The price was not what I expected at first, but after seeing first hand on how detailed and how meticulous they are with making sure everything is perfect, I would be more then happy to pay more, but won't let me. Overall evaluation: 1000% will recommend to everyone.


Components


Head

Wear SatisfactionThe head feels fantastic. Not too stuffy and can see through the eyes fairly well. Ventilation is amazing and can be worn for a good few hours without to much problems. Adjustments were needed down the road, which were taken care of quickly and without issue. Overall 10/10!


Visual SatisfactionThe head is well made and fur is very soft and well made. The ears are gauged exactly how and where I wanted them and the tufts are very well constructed. The neck and stitching needed to be fixed, but was fixed without delay and no road bumps. Excellent quality. Fur blends amazingly. 10/10.


One-Piece Body

Wear SatisfactionBeing 6'8", finding a fursuiter to be able to get my measurements perfect has been hard, however Desert Fizz both excelled and went beyond with the bodysuit. The length was perfect the first time, no adjustments needed! The leg and ankle padding to make the digitigrade legs are fluffy and have not deflated or shrunk in the 2 years I've worn it. Very comfortable and breathable. I'm able to be in it for hours without problems. Excellent make and quality fur used.


Visual SatisfactionExcellent make and quality fur used. Details from the ref sheet were spot on! The belly and side fur blends perfectly and the zipper is invisible and not seen at all.


Hands

Wear SatisfactionThe handpaws are great. At first, a couple of fingers were a little tight, but were fixed and widened with a few days of sending them back. Breathable and comfortable for all day use.


Visual SatisfactionAgain, both fur and make is perfect. No issues. Fur blends perfectly. Hands are soft and the beans are even better.


Tail

Wear SatisfactionThe inside is padded and rigid, just like I wanted. No issues. The tail is attached through a couple belt loops and and a through a small hole in the rear of the bodysuit.


Visual SatisfactionWhen the tail is on with the bodysuit, the hole is nearly covered and seamless with the rest of the suit. Very comfortable to wear for a while.


Feet

Wear SatisfactionThe feet are perfect for my size 19 feet. Always comfortable for indoors. Toes are connected, so no issues getting caught on stuff. The liner is very soft, I believe it's silk, or something very close. I wear them for slippers around the house as well. Very comfortable.


Visual SatisfactionFur blends just as good as the rest of the suit. Claws are secured and the toe beans do not rip when getting caught on small stuff. Highly recommend outdoor padding if you are going to wear them for a long period. Overall 9/10.
