Current 'peacekeeper kit' is just you average CF kit with a UN blue helmet cover and a brassard with the round UN flash. That's what's being used current on peacekeeping ops in places like Golan, Haiti, etc. Although in some photos, Canadian personel have just put the UN flash directly onto their Cadpats. I suggest searching on combat camera. There is also currently a CF issue UN blue boonie hat. Exactly the same as the Cadpat boonie, with neck flap and all, but in UN blue. But good luck finding one. I've only ever seen one, in person, at a gun show, and I snatched it up right away. Otherwise, there are chinese knock-off UN berets all over the place, most surplus shops seem to have them. Other option is trying to find a UN ball cap (UN blue ball cap with a UN flash on it), but I don't know if those are still used, I haven't seen any photos of them in use since the mid 90's. And trust me, I hunt down every single CF peacekeeping pic I can find (especially in the former Yugoslavia).
