The bandana is a square scarf, most commonly worn on the head, but it can also be worn around the neck, as a wristband, or face cover. Its history dates back to the 17th century and originates from South Asia and the Middle East. The bandana gained popularity especially thanks to icons like Tupac Shakur, Jimi Hendrix, and Axl Rose, who often wore it as their trademark. It has many uses – it protects from the sun, wind, and dust, and also serves as a decorative element. It is very popular among scouts, motorcyclists, outdoor enthusiasts, and many people wear it daily.
Why wear a bandana?
The bandana not only protects against sun, dust, or wind but also absorbs moisture, increasing comfort during physical exertion. Moreover, it can be used in many ways. Of course, it is most well-known as a head bandana, but it also works well as a wristband, neck scarf, and even as a pocket square for a jacket. It is available in many colors, which can be matched to an outfit, including:
- red bandana
- black bandana
- blue bandana
- green bandana
Head bandanas in the MILITARY.EU offer
We offer head bandanas from brands such as Mil-Tec and MFH. They are available in classic colors like those mentioned above, but also in, for example, Woodland camouflage, which goes well with an outfit in this pattern. It's a good choice for those who need full camouflage in the field.
Most of the bandanas available in our offer are made of durable cotton. This material is breathable, so the head does not sweat excessively during physical activity. Some head bandana models are tied at the back and have special strings that allow them to be adjusted to the head's circumference. The seams are soft, preventing chafing.
