Hey! So, from what we've found about the Deluxe How to Train Your Dragon Hiccup Costume for Men, it's got a lot of cool pieces, like the shoulder pads, knee pads, a jersey knit shirt, gauntlets, and shoe covers. One thing to note, though—it doesn’t come with pants, so you’ll need to sort that out separately.
Now, onto the shoulder and knee pads. Based on our research, it seems like some folks have had issues with keeping these in place. The shoulder pads attach with Velcro, but they might not always stick as securely as you'd want, especially if you're moving around a lot.
As for the knee pads, they can be a bit loose for some, which isn't ideal if you're aiming for comfort and the best look.
Even though the manufacturer talks up the quality of the set (minus the pants!), it's good to keep these things in mind. If you're going to wear the costume for a while, or if you need those pads to stay put while you're on the move, you might want to think about adding a bit of extra security.
In short, this costume does nail the Hiccup vibe, but being aware of these potential Velcro issues can help you prep. Maybe reinforcing the Velcro or adjusting the fit could do the trick.
And if you're on the hunt for some matching pants, don’t forget to plan for that. Happy dress-up!
