This is a great item. The quality is top notch. It's well assembled and the leather is nice and soft (unlike a leather item I bought from another site where the leather was so dry I had to oil it before I used it).
After lacing (easier if someone else does it, but I can do it myself) the effect is already there and the buckles just finish everything just right. Of course after 4 locks are installed you better know where the key is or you're like a blind deaf person trying to find it. The mouth opening is very adequate and the hood fits so well there's no way that a gag could be used as breathing is a good thing. It's nice and dark and quiet in there and after snugging the collar strap one can barely move the head (excellent).
The 3 rings on the collar come in very handy and are quiet when not used. I hate noisy rings that clang like a cowbell. My kids might not understand when I am discovered.
Since I have a fat nose it usually clogs after a while and I need to breathe through my mouth. After an hour or two my mouth becomes uncomfortably dry but I told the Mrs. that a straw and a drink would solve that. Speaking of the Mrs she is a bit of a fumbler but the second night she installed the hood on me no problem. She likes how it fits so well and is easy for her tighten up and secure. One minor complaint is that the lace has no hard ends and with 13 eyelets in back there is some lacing to be done.
We are looking for a good shoelace with decent ends to replace it with.
Strict Leather has hit a home run with me and I just ordered some fist mitts last night. Quality is appreciated in this hobby which for me has lasted for 37 years so I want my toys to last a long time.
Thumbs Up from Richie........at least if I'm not in my new mitts........
