Been wearing my shemagh/ keffiyeh around lately. (Not in face covered taliban style, more like a neck scarf. Lol) This one thing the ME got right. For a large square piece of cotton cloth, it adds a lot of warmth and comfort. These are, IMO, way more versitile than any bandanna. Hence my name for it - the "Mandanna!" I have had two of them for awhile now but really just started wearing the one around since it got colder lately. Actually, these are just fine for the ladies too and come in a large array of colors for everyone. At $10 a pop I am going to order a few more and keep them on hand in all my kits. Here is a vid on different ways to tie one. There are dozens of other uses I can think of just off the top of my head too. If you guys arent using these, I would suggest getting a couple and give 'em a try. m.youtube.com/watch?v=5YPU1Z-d_Ow |

Naw, just wet it and put around your neck like any bandanna. You can also put it over your hat and wear it like a sun shade for your neck and face. And....wipe sweat off your face!  |

When I was on the island of Moorea in French Polynesia I noticed some females can wear them as a dress. Of course they were short, a size 1 off the rack and an 'A' cup with about two feet of coarse black hair to cover up anything else.

I have a preference to hoods, Red Baron caps, knitted skull caps and ski masks. They make my life much simpler. But if it makes y'all happy I do own one.  |

I just don't like the restricted vision. It drives me nuts when I see these punks driving around wearing a hoodie. I use a scarf in the extreme cold |

I use a scarf in the extreme cold Point well taken my friend only if these are worn around the neck and not covering the whole head because then they become hoodies as well. Too, hoodies don't need to be barriers to blocking vision, you can cover as much of your face as you'd like. I just like something which will keep my head, neck and ears all warm at the same time and no chance of cold air finding a little hole to creep in then I'm back to the drawing board rewrapping to hopefully get it right. We can find pros and cons of all headwear, to each their own. |

When it comes to scarves for winter wear most people start behind their neck, cross it in front and put the ends back over their shoulders. If you reverse that cross in the back and bring the ends to the front they stay in place better, you have more layering for your throat and chest. You stay warmer and less scarf maneuvering.
