SunshineCap for Africa needed
Strange: I'm living in South Africa but I still couldn't trace that special cap. It looks like an ordinary baseballcap but it has a neck protector which you can let down. Hope you people know what I mean.
I'm not talking about the caps which you can buy at Cape Union Mart and similar places but the better stronger ones for the professionals. Who can assist me?

kamaatuInfinito,
those caps were supplied by the russians. Fapla, Frelimo etc all had them. The portugese also had them while still active in Moz and Angola.
Sunshine, when you are in namibia, go to Agra. They have some supplies!

infinitoI know.....it will just be hard to get hold of some of those Cubans nowadays...

I was just joking, had one of those caps for years, but it is now hanging in the bar as a memo, worn to bits....
Hey sunshine:
"Do a search for fishing hats. These are common with fishermen."
One mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist is another mans FISHERMAN

Sorry, the quest for this cap just stirred some tunes that lies close to my heart......
