Well, with the recent sale, myself and some other people put an order for some stuff into canadian peacekeeper... over all, can't say I was impressed this time (Had good experiences with them in the past). None of this stuff has been field tested, most just what I can see from initial inspection.
Name Tags - Actually looked much better then name tags I've bought from them in the past, much neater job. Wasn't disapointed in these.
Glasses Case - Utterly useless. They listed it as having a rigid liner. Mine arrived sans a rigid liner, it was in fact quite floppy. After writing them regarding this, I was informed that they were modifying their design and had removed the rigid liner (Odd, considering that it was bought as part of the sale, and the sale was supposedly a clearence of old, discontinued merchandise), and I was welcome to return the case for a full refund, which isn't worth it, as the cost of the return would be at least as much as the cost of the item as it was half price.
Collapsible wash basin (CadPat) - Looks cool. Also lighter weight then the issued wash basin. Not very stable though, and I'm also thinking that they'll become filthy quite easily. While the inside is rubberized quite well, there's still a cloth band around the top, not a good thing for somthing that gets filled with wash water. I supposed as long as it's washed regularly it will be fine, though I'm thinking the MilSpex knock off sold at most Canex's would be a better alternative if you really wanted to replace the issue wash basin. Though this item at least delivered everything the description promised.
Helmet Scrim - Good. It's all scraps of light weight cordura, so it won't soak up water. Unfortunately, I ordered a mix of cadpat, olive, and black, they sent me only olive and black. Unfortunately, like the glasses case, it's not worth enough to make it worth returning.
Zippered Field Pillows - These seem larger then I expected, weight wise that doesn't matter, as if you're taking a pillow, it generally means you're not humping it. More to the point, just seems like it would be hard to stuff enough clothes in there to make it all useful as a pillow. Haven't tried it yet though, and the polar fleece layer on it seem slike it would be very comfy. May work quite well. I'll wait until it's field tested to pass judgement.
Cargo Bag (CadPat) - This one was really an impulse buy as it was half price. While I can't see it getting much use, it seems well constructed, and looks good. No complaints about this item. Maybe I should have ordered it in olive, so I don't look as ridiculous carrying it around say, in an airport, on the other a hand, I already have a rather nice black cargo bag I bought on sale dirt cheap at a luggage store going out of business.
Over all, must say, very disapointed with this order, as I've had exceptionally good experiences in the past with wheelers.
