A traditional-style shemagh that works well for neck coverage, light wind protection, and dust reduction. Its usefulness comes from versatility rather than technical performance. Suitable for field, hiking, or casual outdoor use, though bulkier than simpler scarves or neck gaiters.
Scarf of the arafatka type intended for wearing on the head or neck. Ensures protection of the head or neck against sun, cold, and wind, while efficiently wicking away excess moisture. Distinctive edge tassels help prevent the fabric from fraying.
The arafatka, often referred to as a keffiyeh or shemagh, is a traditional Arab head covering—a square cotton fabric, typically folded and wrapped in several styles around the head.

The scarf is very good, nice to the touch, and the material also seems fine. However, to say that it stains is an understatement. When you pick it up, it literally leaves dye on your hands. You can feel it to the touch and see it when washing your hands. I put it in a bowl of water, and within seconds the water was black, as if I had poured a glass of dye in there. After about 10 minutes of rinsing by hand, it wasn't staining as badly, but it still left color in the water. I highly recommend rinsing it very thoroughly right after purchase!

A very pleasant-to-the-touch scarf. This is already my second from this company. The first one I bought was white. Both work great outdoors. They accompany me all year round. I highly recommend. :)
-
Arafatka, as a arafatka, is carefully made, with no loose threads, and the material is quite breathable (which is an advantage for me because I wanted it to protect against the sun in summer, not provide warmth). At this price, I recommend it.
-
Simple scarf, high quality materials and workmanship, also... at an affordable price... Compared to others... very decent, color - you can choose... I recommend it!!
-
Good quality for a reasonable price. I would even say that at this price it is surprisingly good. It's really a high-quality and well-made product. Considering the price, this is an ideal Arafatka for 'getting started' and seeing whether you like this kind of thing.
-
Interesting colors and good quality. The only downside, as others have already mentioned, is the very aggressive dye bleeding during washing. Other than that, I see no flaws. For this price, it's really worth it.
-
At first I was a bit skeptical, but after some time of use, I changed my mind – it protects against cold, sun, provides camouflage, and offers a whole range of improvised uses. I recommend it.
-
I own several shemaghs and consider them the best idea for clothing that protects the neck and head from the cold on chilly days and from the heat during hot weather. 'Thick' but light, it protects well against adverse weather conditions. I bought it in selected colors as a gift and it brought the recipient a lot of joy.
-
The keffiyeh is of good quality. Both the material and the workmanship are at a good level. It's my favorite neck covering for autumn and early winter. There are plenty of colors to choose from. I recommend it.
-
The scarf is nice but bleeds like crazy, a few washes with mild detergent and vinegar didn't help, I'm afraid it will fade quickly. Be careful with other clothes because you might be surprised. The lady wanted a red one and now she has it. I have the yellow and green ones and they're OK, but this color is a huge problem.
-
Pleasant, breathable material, the color matches the description, simply good and as described, a product you can recommend with a clear conscience.
-
/red/black version/ vibrant color, washed several times by hand without strong detergents, but it still stains a lot. You have to be careful with light T-shirts/hoodies as they can get stained pink.
-
Very nice color of the scarf, large size.
-
Well made. Protects the neck and face.
