Tight enough that it doesn’t move around much but loose enough that nothing pokes or squeezes uncomfortably. It is lined with a soft balaclava liner. The ventilation is great. The mouth lines up nicely with my own nose and mouth so that there is a fairly constant airflow, and the maker created a vent in the foam in the top of the head under the hair tuft that allows heat to escape. The vision is also fantastic. There is almost no blind spot other than the typical tunnel vision that fursuit heads all have. Visual Satisfaction The appearance is spot on. The maker did a great job of capturing my character. The craftsmanship and attention to detail and symmetry with the carving and shaving is perfect. Hands and Feet Wear Satisfaction They are extremely comfortable to wear, both hands and feet. There is no lining in the hands, but the fur backing is trimmed and soft, so that is not an issue. The feet are built on slippers and extremely comfortable to wear. It has been almost 6 years since I received the costume, and all parts are still holding up, however the soles of the feet have started to show some wear and could probably use new soles at some point. Visual Satisfaction Appearance is great. No complaints. Tails Wear Satisfaction As with everything else, the tail is extremely comfortable and easy to wear. The original belt loops to attach it are still holding up beautifully and I have never made any repairs. Visual Satisfaction Tail looks good and lively. Makes for great pictures! Overall Product Satisfaction How was your concept art realized? How satisfied are you with how closely the suit matches the concept art? Completely satisfied. How well does everything fit together and match up? How satisfied are you with how well everything fits together and matches up? Completely satisfied. Overall Project Quality How satisfied are you with the overall quality of your project? Beyond satisfied. The costume is turning 6 years old in March and has never needed a single repair. She has never popped a seam and nothing has ever come unglued. The entire suit is extremely durable and has held up to quite a bit of rough use. Purchase Process Initial Contact How satisfied are you with how easy it was to initially contact the maker for a quote? Completely satisfied. Maker Response Time She was always quick to respond and provided plenty of WIPs as she worked. Maker Professionalism I can’t comment on the professionalism of this maker because she was a friend, but as far as the interactions around the suit went, she was wonderful to work with. Project Completion Time Were any deadlines missed or was it done early? My deadlines were loose, however the costume was finished and shipped promptly after payments were complete. Rating FursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker? YES This review has been marked with a positive rating. This means the reviewer would recommend Paws. Final Comments Zero cons. At all. This maker was fantastic to work with and the product is top quality. I can do things to my head without breaking her that horrify most suit owners because their own suits would fall apart. I hope to commission her again in the future! Are you the maker of this item?
