Military operations in the southern regions require you to take into account the specifics of the terrain and subsequently, specifics of the combat tasks. In case of countries with a hot and dry climate, you should protect yourself from the scorching sun, dust, sand and hot wind.

Your headgear must meet the requirements of camouflage on the terrain, and also give you the possibility of looking less noticeable and blend in with local residents. Thus, soldiers chose a headdress like keffiyeh (shemagh), which fully meets these requirements. It has a classic design and authentic appearance. You can tie it around your head as you please, thereby protecting yourself from the sun, wind and sand.

These keffiyehs are actively used by Russian special forces in the Syrian Arab Republic. High functionality allows you to use it not only as a headgear, but also as a tourniquet or for other purposes.
