If you read the description.....you'll find this.....
Though I don't buy off e-bay.....NOR am I a soldier.....if I ever come across some of this CADPAT look-a-like stuff, I will most certainly buy it. I am an AVID hunter, and it's been proven that at farther distances, the CADPAT is MUCH better than ANY current hunting camoflauge pattern on the market. HOWEVER.....I'm definately not the type to add fake name tapes, hooks, bars, etc.....to try and make myself look like I'm something I'm not.
Actually.....my best friend is 1st PPCLI and he bought a regular back pack in a CADPAT type of pattern from the surplus store in Edmonton. No-one has a problem with the store selling it.....well.....if they do....as long as it is changed enough to get around copyright laws....there's nothing anyone can say or do about it.
I do disagree with people on e-bay selling an item and blatantly lying by saying it is genuine military issue. Those items should be removed as they are clearly stating intentions of breaking Canadian laws. If someone sells a bag of baby powder and sais it's cocaine.....they get charged with trafficking cocaine....should be the same with people saying they're selling genuine military issued CADPAT or other CF merchandise which is Illegal for sale.
