You get strange looks???? They only just started selling helmets in Egypt
and most of them are covered with black velvet for the jumpers. *Normal*
riders consider a baseball cap head protection. My kids hassled me into
wearing my cap (and buying it) and now I always wear it even though when
people want to say what to look for to identify me in the desert they say:
"The sort of green mushroom looking rider".
