When I received it, it was soft, but after the first wash, it became slightly stiff. However, it is lightweight, comfortable and keeps you warm; I felt my neck was well protected.
Mil-Tec Shemagh Protective Scarf - Beige
The shemagh-style model in Beige is made of woven cotton, which promotes good ventilation and ensures comfortable use even over extended periods. It works well in summer as sun protection, and when folded, it can serve as an additional layer in cooler conditions. Fringes along the edges reduce the risk of fraying.
Also known as a keffiyeh or shemagh, the arafat scarf is a traditional Arab scarf – a square piece of fabric, usually cotton, that can be folded and wrapped around the head in various ways.
Application possibilities
The scarf is useful in many situations – for protecting the head and shoulders from intense sun, as face coverage in harsh weather conditions, and as an insulating layer against the cold. Thanks to its lightweight construction and large size, it easily adapts to different uses.

- woven cotton construction

I’m giving four stars because the keffiyeh itself is fine, but the material feels artificial to the touch, as if it were plastic.
-
This is a practical and versatile scarf that complements your kit very well. It can be used in various ways, depending on your needs and the circumstances. The timeless black-and-white colours look very good and pair easily with different clothing and the rest of your gear. The product met my expectations, so I can recommend it with complete confidence.
-
At first it was quite stiff, but after a few washes it became really pleasant to the touch. I like its colour and pattern (I have the green-and-black version). I’ve got it muddy a number of times or caught it on branches, and even so it still looks good. The threads aren’t coming loose, and the size is universal enough that it works well in different situations.
-
A classic keffiyeh that did not disappoint. The material is a pleasant 100% cotton, light and breathable, while still offering good protection from wind, dust and sun. The Khaki/Black colourway matches the photos. A versatile accessory for the outdoors and everyday wear.
-
The material is soft and comfortable, especially after a few washes. When soaked in cold water, it cools nicely on hot days. I recommend having such a product.
-
This kind of wardrobe doesn’t really need a special description. However, this one seems a bit plasticky. I know it wasn’t expensive, but today I would rather spend more money on a better model.
-
I was always hesitant about keffiyehs, but after my first purchase I regret not deciding sooner. It's practical and looks great. I am very satisfied. The product is of good quality. I definitely recommend it.

The scarf is practical, lightweight and comfortable to wear. The material is pleasant and can be used both for protection against wind, dust and sun, as well as an accessory for gear. The olive-black combination looks great and matches outdoor/military-style clothing. It's useful for hiking, training, or daily wear. Good product for its price.
-
I didn't expect this scarf to be so thick and provide so much warmth. In the past, I bought another keffiyeh that was light and suitable for summer – it protected well against wind and dust, so it was perfect for warmer days. This one, however, is perfect for winter. It is warm and well made. When I wrap myself in it, I don't need any additional protection.
-
Fast delivery, proper packaging. The scarf looks good and has a pleasant finish. It is made from a relatively rare fabric, with the product weighing about 172g. It comes with a slightly unpleasant smell, which partially remained even after washing. The washing was done by hand at 30 degrees. The colour runs a little when washing. I think the scarf is worth buying.
-
The keffiyeh is a different colour than in the photos. It is completely black, lacking the transparency effect shown in the picture. After a short time, it became bobbled. Overall, it’s nice and fairly thick, but the bobbling of the material indicates very low quality, and this affects the overall appearance.
-
Great keffiyeh – it is light, airy, and comfortable to wear even for many hours. The cotton material provides good air circulation and works well both as protection from the sun on hot days and as an extra layer in cooler weather.
-
Arafatka is of excellent quality, durable and versatile. It works well both in summer and winter, has many uses and fully serves its purpose. I definitely recommend it.
-
The quality is very poor. This is definitely not cotton; the material is stiff and distinctly plastic-like. I have a similar product from another manufacturer and that one is much better in terms of material.
