The Rothco Shemagh Tactical Desert Scarf has been manufactured to answer an increasing demand for this product from current and former military members.

This traditional Middle Eastern-style scarf is perfect for providing protection in desert environments. The weave of the Rothco Shemagh is tight enough to block out the sun's rays yet loose enough to stop particulates from entering your airway. This scarf is used by both American and British troops as a trusted way to prevent inhalation of particles and protect against the sometimes oppressive heat of the desert.
