Shemagh by GFC Tactical is made of high-quality cotton and produced in Pakistan. Thanks to the cotton grammage of 175 grams per square meter, it is ideal for use both in the summer and - after folding - in the colder periods of the year. Shemagh, also known as a keffiyeh, is a traditional Arabic headgear - a square piece of cloth, mostly cotton, folded and wrapped differently around the head. For many different reasons, American and British soldiers during the war with Iraq and its subsequent occupation were often photographed and filmed with keffiyeh around their necks. Most often they were khaki in color and with a black pattern. The reasons for this may have been the attempts to win over the Arab inhabitants, as well as practical considerations. The most common are images of soldiers wearing kefije folded in a triangle and tied around their necks. In this way, the scarf can cover the nose and mouth, which, in combination with goggles or glasses, provides excellent protection against desert sand, the keffiyeh on the neck was also intended to prevent its rubbing from the collar of the bulletproof vest.
