The Performance
Fiber of Warriors

As worn and used by the mounted warriors of Genghis Khan centuries ago, you can take full advantage of this superior natural fiber to use in the wilderness and modern world of today. The PDW A.G. Shemagh is uncompromising modern performance using the king of natural fibers. Configurable in a multitude of ways, you can use it as a scarf, oversized neckerchief, and tie it in any way a traditional shemagh can.

Honestly exceptional

At this price point may not be a need for some but its next level for those that know. Saving a few dollars and sacrificing comfort is not ideal. After an long day Cashmere still does its job like you just put it on. Cotton stops performing well very shortly in severe conditions

Brilliant piece of cold weather kit

I've finally had a chance to really test the Cashmere Shemagh. I spent a week in Nunavut in mild winter conditions, windy but only -16 C. The Shemagh was excellent to keep the wind from biting too much. The real test was this past week in the Northwest Territories with temperatures dipping to the -40s, into -50 C with windchill. The Shemagh was perfect to wrap around my face and head. It kept my cheeks and nose warm and even stayed soft despite the frozen moisture from breathing. I am very happy with it, feel it will hold up to rough use getting stuffed in pockets and packs, and will remain a reliable piece of my cold weather kit.

Made in China

Nice piece of kit but was really disappointed it was made in China. I would certainly not have ordered at the price point or even at all had I known in advance.

Cashmere's origins are in Asia, Mongolia specifically. Made total sense to us to source, mill and weaven the shemaghs regionally. Not only is the quality very high, but less surcharges on shipping back and forth the raw materials, resulting in a best quality accessory at a fraction of the cost for a similar item by a luxe brand. We encourage you to try to enjoy it if you can.

Now, back to sourcing a Made in USA smartphone and computer....
