Ghost balaclava from Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

Take a quick look on ebay and you’ll find plenty of results for Ghost’s balaclava. One of them even includes a cheesy hooded jacket and knee pads for a ridiculous price, but I see nothing that even comes close to the detail and quality of KChanko’s gear.
