Y'know, that's more than a little annoying because I used to be able
to get those from local surplus places for about $25 in the past.
Same with flight helmets.  I used to be able to get the jet fighter
style helmets (can't recall the model off-hand) for about $120.  Now I
can't find a flight helmet for under $400 - locally or E-Bay.

Guess I should be selling military surplus stuff on the side...
