Shemagh Traditional Desert Headdress

The classic Shemagh or Keffiyeh has been worn for centuries by people of the deserts who needed everyday protection from blowing sand and glaring, burning sun light. Made of soft 100% cotton, these headwraps are ideal for keeping sun, wind, and sand out of eyes and face. The U.S. Armed Forces, coalition war partners in OIF and OEF found them a necessity for protection from the misery of the desert. These are military issue in many countries because it is so versatile. It makes a great item in survival kits or for the Soldier, hunter and outdoorsman.

Not only is it a traditional headdress, but it is a comfy sweat mop, dust wiper, field towel and filter when needed. It may be unusual, but it works! Instructions for tying come with each Shemagh.
