Military quickly understand how useful the Arab Kufya is, and even essential in the hot sandy Middle Eastern areas. Extremely suitable against sandstorms, sweat, as camouflage and the Keffiyeh has many other functions. The English and European millitarians prefer to use the Jordanian name "Shemagh", because it is easy to pronounce for them. To distinguish between the original Palestinian / Arab Kufiya and the camouflage versions adopted by the military, we use the name "Shemagh" for these variants. The Shemagh is lighter in weight and unlike most Keffiyeh, it is not decorated with long fringes. Functionality is more important than the Millitaire Shemagh.
