AltSkin Men's Full Body Spandex/Lycra Suit

I bought a morphsuit for my 6 yr old and a SecondSkin suit for my 4 yr old.Here's a comparison:-The Morphsuit fabric is softer and better quality, although no complaints with the SecondSkin which is surprisingly well-made (strong seams...).-Morphsuit insists on putting "Morphsuit" in large font on the butt of their costumes, super lame as "realistic morphing" and "branding" kind of condradict each other.- Morphsuit head part has a separate pocket opening at the back and closes with Velcro which is kind of a pain to use (holds hair, hard to close) and looks a bit more bulky, but is designed to be easier for the wearer to take off (it also, as a side note, makes it impossible to "tuck" the face portion into the costume for events where the mask might not be appropriate; you CAN do this with SecondSkin which has a two zipper system).-The zipper puckers on the Morphsuit but lays flat on SecondSkin-The sizing is way off on the Morphsuit: The Small is a little too big (a bit baggy and the fingers are too long) on my son who is an average build 6 yr old (3'10"), the package lists Small for 3'4" to 3'10". The Small SecondSkin fit my 4 yr old (who's tall, 3'8') perfectly but was a little small on my 6 year old.Summary: SecondSkin fits smaller, lays flatter and has a lovely smooth double-zipper system we prefer. For the price, SecondSkin wins our vote and with the lame bum branding of Morphsuits, the better quality fabric still puts it in second place.Note: a third bodysuit arrived, made by Smiffy's and is by far the superior of the three suits. High quality fabric, single zipper up the back and an invisible pocket for the face portion at the FRONT (smart, right?). Doesn't look like they make kids suits but if you're looking for an adult one by this brand, search BOTH "Smiffy's bodysuit" and "Smiffy's second skin" to pull up all.

It's a pretty snug fit. I'm about 5'10" 195lbs and I went with the large. The stitching looks like it will hold. When the fabric stretches, it gets a bit sheer. I'm planning on wearing some long underwear under it to cover myself up more. My junk is fully visible through the fabric.I saw a review about not being able to breathe through it. That lady must not be bright or something idk. The skeleton design is essentially pasted on, and while you can't breath through those solid sections, the skeleton has a damn mouth. Breath through the mouth. With your mouth.Knocked off a star because it runs much smaller than advertised (I would probably look better and be more comfortable in XL, which claims 6'3"-6'7" 180-230+lbs). It's designed to stretch, but the amount of stretching makes the fabric go sheer, which isn't desired. Also, get some help when zipping it up. It's pretty much impossible unless you are bald or wearing a shower cap.

Bought two skeleton body suits, in a kid's size M ("SecondSkin Men's Full Body Spandex/Lycra Suit, Skeleton, Kids M") and an adult large ("SecondSkin Men's Full Body Spandex/Lycra Suit, Skeleton, Large"). Over-all very satisfied with both products.- It is very difficult to see in the dark with these one. They worked fine at a brightly lit indoor party, but we will not use the hoods for Halloween evening as we'd end up walking into curbs. We tucked the hood inside the front and made up our faces into skulls. Looked better that way.- Feet and hands are attached. The fit was no problem for us (more on that later). It looks great, in fact. But if you want to see the metatarsals, you have to either find sandals, or wear socks underneath and walk around without shoes.- Color and glow-in-the-dark. The yellow-green glow of the skeleton looks great, especially after "charging" all day in the sunlight.- Child's Medium Fit. The kid's medium fits my small framed ten year old daughter who is shorter than average in her class with a long-legged, lanky frame. It fit slightly tight, but worked. Only challenge was zipping the hood and positioning the eyes over her eyes. We managed, but the shoulders were pulled slightly tight and looked hunched. We braided her long hair and tucked it inside the hood, which worked well.- Adult Large Fit. The adult large fit me well. I am a 5 foot 7 inches with a broad frame and a little thicker in the middle than I'd like. I also had a challenge pulling the hood over my head, positioning the eyes for best possible vision (which is still poor) and then zipping up the back. It was not flattering on my thicker frame, so I added a raggedy leather vest on one occasion and a long black cloak on another occasion.- Dressing It Up. We both wore the hoods and on another occasion chose to make up our faces into skulls since I am fairly skilled with costume make up. I was much more comfortable with the make up. I added a cloak or loose vest to mine to reduce the pear-like shape of my gut ("Does this spandex make me look fat?" No but it sure does accent my fat belly!). Meanwhile, my skinny daughter turned hers into a mummy, with a bunch of expired bandages wrapped over the top, but leaving some skeleton peaking through for the glowing bones effect. Much more flattering effect.

Overall, i am very happy with the silver metallic body suit, which i am usinf to create a Silver Surfer costume.the fabric is comfortable spandex and fit well. The duit utstlf us extremrlt warm, so consider rhis carefully when buying. You CANNOT see through the fabric enough to walk safely. At best, i could only make out lights and some shapes. I had no problem breathing in it. I have a similar (nonmetallic) suit that allows me to see more clearly, and I am comfortable walking around in it. I was concerned this would br the case and asked that the face be cut out of the suit. It was not.ii am torn now overs sending it back vs attempting to cut the face out myself.
