I've got one I'll sell you for $87.
I think it's made by KAC. Tier 1, bro. 
EDIT- When I was in the sand, they were a big no no. Apparently if they caught on fire you were fooked. So we were issued fire resistant baclavas, which absolutely nobody wore. |

They are handy to pack around...Good as a scarf, hankerchief, headwrap, bindle in case you decide to become a hobo... Toilet paper also if you're a hobo who has had all his stuff stolen and can't find leaves because he's in the artic...

I wear mine in the winter because it's warm, and since it's legit (got it from a dead hajji) it pisses off all the Arabic immigrants when I go downtown.

they've become so ridiculously poser, it could be a proven fact that wearing one doubles your chance to survive, and I'll go without it.
I think unless you were actually IN delta force or the seals, the Middle East, or were, and are actually either IN a sandstorm, or IN Iraq or Afghanistan at that very moment, it's poser. I only saw one person wearing one at a gun range that wasn't poser. It was a ridiculously hot chick shooting a 10/22 while wearing a shemeagh but it matched her outfit and I bet a hundred dollars if I asked her where she got her tactical shemaagh, she'd have said "this old scarf thing?" |

I know people like to talk up how unbelievably useful a piece of cloth can be (god only knows how the human race made it this far without all of the manly men using them), but lets face it, they are a fashion accessory.
 If you want to wear one, that's fine. I personally think they look silly and screams "I wanna look like a warfighter!," but it's a free country and that shouldn't matter to anybody.

I wrap one around my head when I'm hunting in full camo - works to keep warm/keep out mosquitoes, for the most part. Don't know why you'd wear one to an indoor range though.

If their plan is to wear one if they are involved in a combat situation then they should train in one.

I thought this was cool:
http://www.amazon.com/Rothco-Crossed-Rifles-Shemagh-Tactical/dp/B0096QMPW0 I always keep a shemagh or a big bandana in my pack. They come in handy quite often, usually for keeping the sun off my kneck or the sand out of my nose. |

I have a couple. They are pretty useful I think. I use them when I'm riding ATV to keep the dust out, while on the boat on a cold morning running across the lake, at work (yes at work) when the dust storms move in to keep from being sand blasted, and I soak it and wrap it around my neck on the super hot days.
I'd use a bandanna, but then I'd have to wear a tie dye one to keep from getting shot by the thugs yo! |

I spent more time in the middle east than I care to remember and even in 2003 we still clowned on people still wearing shemaghs and pakool hats in theater that was sooo 2001 and only the real deal wore that shit to try to blend in while running around some mountainside in Afganistan. Now all these years later I see tons of goofballs wearing those softshell jackets with gay ass morale patches all over them and a fucking shemagh. NONE of them served in the military and they have more shit on them than any SF guy I ever saw. If they wanted to emulate real "Operators" they would wear normal looking shit, not Condor garbage which barely stands up to a few washings.
