It looks very promising. I bought the first one, the green one, back in 2014. I chose this one instead of a traditional scarf and a buff because I can't stand wearing a scarf. We'll see in winter, but I expect really high comfort. Good luck to everyone.
Mil-Tec Shemagh Protective Scarf - White/Red
The shemagh-style scarf in White/Red is crafted from woven cotton, ensuring excellent breathability and a high level of comfort even during extended wear. Serving as effective sun protection in summer months, the scarf can also be folded to provide an additional insulating layer in colder conditions. Fringes along the borders reinforce the fabric, preventing fraying.
Known as a keffiyeh or arafat scarf, the shemagh is a traditional Arab garment—a square-shaped, usually cotton, piece that is folded and wrapped around the head in multiple ways.
Application possibilities
The shemagh offers versatile functionality — serving as protection for the head and shoulders against the sun, as a face shield in challenging weather, or as an insulating barrier in cold environments. Thanks to its lightweight design and generous size, it can be easily adjusted to meet a variety of tactical or outdoor requirements.
Key features
- Durable cotton weave
- Edged with fringes

A very versatile scarf - it can be used in many ways. The price-to-quality ratio is very good. The scarf is quite durable for this price.
-
Anyone who buys it once will buy it again. Indispensable for trips. Soft material, lightweight. Exceptionally versatile use: from protection against insects to cooling relief in hot weather. Brilliant!

I’m truly delighted with these scarves! I took them to Egypt, and they turned out to be incredibly practical in many situations: they protected my head, helped with very strong air conditioning, and shielded me from desert sand. A great solution was also to soak them and wrap them around my head and neck to cool down — the fabric absorbs water well and provides a pleasant feeling of coolness for a long time. However, there is one important rule: you must not dry them in a tumble dryer, because then they start to ripple.

This is a product I can't imagine any backpack without. It is very versatile. The material is thin, lightweight, takes up almost no space in luggage, and practically weighs nothing. I definitely recommend it to everyone.
-
At first it was soft, but after the first wash it became a little stiffer. Even so, it is lightweight, comfortable, and keeps me warm well, and I also felt that my neck was properly covered.
-
I'm only giving four stars because although the keffiyeh itself is perfectly fine, it is made of a material that immediately feels plasticky to the touch.
-
A practical and versatile scarf that works well as a useful addition to your equipment. It can be used in several ways, depending on the situation and your needs. The classic black-and-white colour scheme looks very good and easily matches different clothes and other gear. The product met my expectations, so I can confidently recommend it.

At first it was quite stiff, but after a few washes it became very pleasant to use. The colours and pattern are nice (I have the green-and-black one). I got it covered in mud many times or dragged it across some branch, and it is still in good condition. The threads are not fraying, and it is large enough to work well for many occasions.

A traditional keffiyeh that met expectations. It is made from pleasant-to-the-touch, lightweight, and breathable 100% cotton, while effectively protecting against wind, dust, and sun. The Khaki/Black colour looks exactly like in the photos. It is a versatile accessory both for the outdoors and for everyday use.
-
The fabric is quite soft and pleasant, especially after a few washes. When soaked in cold water, it cools very nicely during hot weather. Worth having.
-
This type of wardrobe doesn't really need a special introduction. However, this particular one feels a bit plastic, and I realize it wasn't expensive, but now I'd prefer to spend more on a better one.
-
I was never really a fan of shemaghs. I bought one once and now I know that I was wrong my whole life. :) It's multifunctional and looks good. I'm very satisfied. Good quality. I recommend it.

The scarf is lightweight, comfortable, and practical to use. The material is pleasant to the touch and suitable both for protection against the sun, wind, or dust, as well as an accessory. The olive-black colors look great and go well with outdoor or military clothing. It proves useful during hikes, workouts, and for everyday wear. It's a solid product at a reasonable price.

I did not expect this scarf to be so thick and warm. I once bought a keffiyeh that I could use in the summer, it was very thin but protected me from wind and dust, so it was perfect. This scarf is perfect for winter, thick and warm. After wrapping myself in it in every possible way, I don't need anything else.
