I’m absolutely thrilled with these scarves! I took them with me to Egypt, where they worked wonderfully for everything from protecting my head and shielding me from overly cold air conditioning to keeping desert sand at bay. Wetting them and wrapping them around your head and neck to cool down also works wonderfully, and the scarves absorb a lot of water and then stay cool for a long time. There’s just one thing you mustn’t do: put them in the dryer. Otherwise, they become wavy.
Mil-Tec Shemagh Protective Scarf - White/Black
The shemagh-style design in Black and White is crafted from woven cotton, which enhances ventilation and ensures comfort even with prolonged wear. It provides excellent sun protection during summer and can be folded to add warmth in cooler weather. Fringes along the borders help prevent fraying.
Known as a keffiyeh or shemagh, the arafat scarf is a traditional Arab garment – a cotton square that can be folded and worn around the head in different styles.
Application possibilities
The scarf proves versatile in various scenarios—providing protection for the head and shoulders against strong sunlight, acting as a face covering in rough weather conditions, and serving as an insulating layer in cold environments. Its lightweight construction and large size make it easily adaptable for different applications.

This is the product that is an essential item in every one of my backpacks. It's a versatile tool. The material is thin and lightweight, it doesn't take up much space in the pack and weighs almost nothing. I recommend it to everyone.
-
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.
-
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 gear 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 kit. 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 pleasant 100% cotton, lightweight and breathable, while still providing 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 very well during hot days. I recommend having such a product.
-
There is not much to say about this wardrobe. However, it feels 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 earlier. It is practical and looks great. I am very satisfied. The product is of good quality. I definitely recommend it.
-
The scarf is practical, light, 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 your gear. The olive-black combination looks very nice and matches outdoor/military-style clothing. It is useful for hiking, training, or everyday wear. Good product for its price.
-
I didn't expect this scarf to be so thick and provide so much warmth. Previously, I bought another keffiyeh that was light and suitable for summer—it protected well against wind and dust, so it was ideal for warmer days. This one, however, is perfect for winter, it's 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 around 172 g. It comes with a slightly unpleasant smell, which remained partially even after washing. The washing was done by hand at 30 degrees. The dye runs a little during washing. I consider that the scarf is worth buying.
-
The keffiyeh is a different color than in the photos. It's completely black, without the transparent effect shown in the picture. It became pilled after a short time. Overall, it's nice and quite thick, but the pilling of the material indicates very low quality, which affects the overall appearance.
-
Great shemagh – it's light, airy, and comfortable to wear even for many hours. The cotton material provides good air circulation and works well both as protection against the sun on hot days and as an extra layer in cooler weather.
