Mil-TecMil-Tec Herren Shemagh Halstuch

The "Army Tactical Scarf Military Shemagh Patrol Keffiyeh Combat Shermag White Black" is also available in other colourways and designs.Originally worn by the North African desert tribes as a means to protect their mouths and noses from blown sand during desert storms, they are now primarily seen as a fashion accessory. However, during the Coronavirus outbreak and with a government recommendation to wear a face covering such as a scarf when using public transport or within enclosed spaces e.g. when food shopping when total 'social distancing' is either sometimes impractical or unrealistic it can also serve another purpose.Made solely of close-weave cotton, a degree of droplet protection from others' coughs and sneezes will be offered with frequent washing advised and a sensible precaution. However, it may be advisable to have three in order that each is washed thoroughly at least each day or after any extended period of wear and then dried before next use e.g. one worn, one to be washed and a third drying or dry ready for next use.The shemagh is essentially square and about 100 cm a side. That is sufficiently large to wear in various ways - around the neck as a scarf or cravat, around the face as a mask or around the face and over the head (Bedouin-style) are the most common. Initially, one was purchased to assess practicality and usability; others may soon follow.

came as expected, good quality cotton, plenty of tassles, no idea where the negative comments came from unless the supplier changed the product recently

It's fairly light and thin as it should be, the right size for wrapping up properly. It's not the greatest quality you'll ever find, but I got it primarily to use as a mask while spray painting and it works very well. The only downside is that it caused my breath to go up and steam my safety glasses, but that's a fault of my use; not this brand.If you're just after it for fashion or cosplaying, it'll do fine. Thin enough not to be too warm in summer, and when wrapped warm enough to use in winter.

Was told I needed this for quad biking while on holiday in Egypt and boy was he not wrong. This was great, never had a problem with dust or breathing while scouting about in the dust cloud of my fellow quad bikers. You will ned to get it tied well.

Great product for the Dubai desert! It handled the harsh conditions without a hitch. Definitely a must-have for anyone planning a desert adventure. Highly recommend!

Very smart. Perfect over sweater or to brighten winter or summer looks

The scarf (shemagh) is a good size and fit, the color is slightly darker than advertised but it will probably fade naturally when washed so this is not a problem. The cotton is a good weight and thickness not cheap not inferior and the pattern is as is advertised so pleased to say the pattern is woven and not printed onto the fabric so it's permanent and will not fade. I was so pleased I have ordered a second shemagh in black and white. It's very good value for the price and it's an adult size.

I bought the blue/white scarf, but it is more lilac than blue. Will be fine for warmer weather, but I really wanted it for cold weather.Quite thin, but not awfully so, you get what you paid for
