Ok, it's hard to review a scarf, yeah? You've all seen these, worn ironically by peacenik hipsters and not so ironically by military forces the world over.  These are standard issue to the SAS, US Special Forces and others when operating in the deserts of the middle east. They've been worn for thousands of years by the desert dwellers of that region as a way to protect from sun, sand and heat.

It's simply an elegant and simple solution to many problems.  It will protect you from the sun. It'll soak up sweat and help keep you cool.  In cool weather, it helps keep you warm. It can cover the face and serve as camouflage. Use it as a towel, blanket (albeit a thin one) bandage, sling, sack and many other things.

For the price, it can't be beat.  The two I've bought so far have been the better woven kind, not the cheaper feeling printed cloth.  Both are excellently made, comfortable and are now standard kit for when I travel internationally.
