Shemagh / Woven Coalition Desert Scarve

If you're out in the field. It's hotter than a European supermodel and more dry than a state trooper's sense of humor, and you're sweating bullets. You start to wonder to yourself why any crazy Middle-Eastern fruitcake would walk around the desert all day dressed in heavy cloth from head to toe. Don't they die like that? The answer is no, and the Shemagh headdress is one perfect example of why. It's a soft, gauzy cloth, meant to be doubled and wrapped around the head. Its fuzzy texture difuses the sun's heat, while pulling moisture away from your skin and evaporating it quickly, cooling you off quite nicely. Tying a traditional Shemagh scarf is a bit like tying a tie. It takes a while to remember, but it's rather simple, and you remember it over time. Instructions can be found on Google, complete with detailed illustrations. Cheap, comfy, and essential for any "terrorist" player.
