It was fairly faded and had one large (patched and sewn) tear - I'd rate it 4/10 for condition, but it was the real deal, proper tags and with the fold-out neck cover (which I didn't even know was a thing). I got it two business days after I ordered it on the weekend.

It fits quite well on my repro MICH 2000 helmet, which I also managed to source!

It's funny to compare the original colour of the unfaded (and obviously seldom or never used) neck cover and the weathered helmet cover - very different!
I have a currentish (last 6 years or so) actual Canadian Forces Kevlar helmet, that my wife snagged off a shelf in a thrift store for 20 bucks (someone obviously sold it/ donated when they shouldn't have). It came with an actual CF cadpat cover, however the previous owner had cut holes in it and had "ghillied" it up.

I walked into Hero Outdoor and picked through what they had on the floor and got a "new" replacement, it had been used lightly but was the real deal and was 20 bucks.
