Desert Sand Shemagh Desert Scarf

Rothco Desert Shemagh

The Rothco Shemagh Desert Scarf is a cotton head and neck wrap built for sun, wind and dust. A shemagh is the traditional Middle Eastern scarf that troops took up during desert deployments because one length of cloth can cover the head, face and neck. This one comes in Desert Sand with a black woven pattern, and it suits shooters, hunters, hikers and anyone who spends long days outdoors.

Features

• Cotton Construction — The scarf is woven from cotton, which breathes in heat and feels soft against the face and neck.
• Desert Sand Colorway — A sand base with a black pattern blends with arid terrain and pairs easily with coyote, khaki and OD green kit.
• Traditional Woven Pattern — The classic shemagh motif covers the body of the scarf, with banded stripes marking off the border sections.
• Knotted Fringe Edges — Hand-tied tassels finish the ends and help keep the edges from unraveling.
• Head Wrap — Twist and tie it over the head to shade your scalp and soak up sweat.
• Face And Dust Cover — Pull it up over the nose and mouth to block blowing sand, grit and wind.
• Neck Scarf — Drape it loosely around the neck for sun protection or wrap it tighter on a cold morning.
• Rothco Made — Rothco is a long-running supplier of military-style clothing and field gear.

Material And Wear

Because it is all cotton, the shemagh stays comfortable on hot days and softens as it gets worn and washed. The open weave and generous cut let you fold it into a triangle for a face or neck wrap, or roll it for a head wrap, without any fasteners. When you are not wearing it, it packs down small enough for a bag pocket.
