That massive dent isn't repairable

Actually it is! You see the trick is to return that helmet to a mysterious place on a CFB called clothing stores along with a large box of timbits / donuts + coffee for the bin rats (AKA the magicians) working the counter. If you are lucky.... voila! Old N/S helmet that appears to have been disposed of through the method of crushing via a sledgehammer, is now magically transformed into a new-ish helmet! It's kinda more like a magic trick really.

Is that basically the same as the US PASGT?

Here's a little more info:

It's not the current issue, but whatever current issue replaced or a couple generations back. It does have a strong resemblance to the US "Fritz" family.

No. It is the Canadian CG634 current pattern Kevlar. The US helmet was issued for a short period between the M1 Steel and this one. Some Balkans tours got them, but not for long.

Those are called Material Management Techs now, and they're even harder to get things from than they used to be. You'd think the stuff belongs to them.

Their entire threes course (RQ Pte) is spent learning how to say "no" and "If I give you one, we'll only have one left"
