Shemagh

Traditional protection, modern versatility

The Kombat UK Shemagh is a faithful take on the classic Middle-Eastern head and neck scarf, also known as a keffiyeh or ghutrah. Adopted by militaries worldwide for operating in hot, arid and dusty conditions, it wraps around the head and face to shield your mouth, nose, eyes and ears from blowing sand, dust and wind, while keeping the sun off your neck.

Cotton comfort that lasts

Made from 100% breathable cotton and finished with traditional tassels, this shemagh measures a generous 110 x 115cm yet weighs just 160g. The cotton weave breathes in the heat and only gets softer and more comfortable the more you wear it, so it breaks in like a favourite piece of kit rather than staying stiff.

Built for the field or the everyday

At only 160g it folds flat into a jacket pocket or webbing pouch, ready when the weather turns. Wrap it tight as face and neck cover on an airsoft skirmish, use it as an improvised sling, towel or sun shade, or simply throw it on casually. It is a genuine multi-tasker for any kit list.

Pick your colourway

Available in a range of two-tone combinations including Black and White, Black and Grey, Blue and White, Green and Black, Red and White, and Sand and Black. Choose a muted pattern to blend into your environment or a bolder mix for everyday wear. Browse more tactical clothing and tactical gear to complete your loadout.
