Ive never written a review but due to my experience, I figured I should share it with others. I wanted to buy a nice hood that would last me a while and not waist money on a cheap hood. The hood looked nice and I figured for the price, it would of better quality. I used it gently for about a week, never washed it and all the threads started coming undone around the elastic face piece portion and was literally falling apart . I sent an email along with pictures and my receipt to the vender about the issue hoping they would send me a replacement hood, free of charge. I was emailed back stating it was my fault that the threads were coming undone and they would give me a 50% discount on a new hood and I should discard the one I just bought. I then called the vender directly to resolve the situation and was questioned in a rude manner about how I was using the hood and that they have never had a problem with any of their hoods in the past and they don't see how this could have happened. After talking for 5 minutes, I was told that they would send me a new one free of charge after I send them the old one first, after I was informed to discard it in the first place but I had to pay for the shipping/handling. Normally they send you the new item with a return shipping label so I was confused and a little angry about that. I received my new hood only to have to same issue of it falling apart within a week. Other guys in my class bought other brand hoods for half the price with not 1 issue! I have owned another brand of flash hoods for half the price that held up with no problems. I wouldn't ever buy one of these hoods and wouldn't recommend this brand to anyone.

Bought as a gift for my son and he was very happy with the product.
