WT –
Bought one used, arrived in good condition. As a hood/balaclava it’s… fine. Coverage down to about the collarbone. Pulls down easily and comfortable. Snug (not tight) to the face when up. Not the best fit for those with manly noses, but not the worst. Not ideal for hiding a big bushy beard. The USGI PBI antiflash hood still is the reigning champion IMO.
