A better set and more generic set of instructions would be the following:

1) fold it into a triangle
2) put it on your head in any way you want and wrap it however you want (you can just put it on without doing anything if you like)

That's it, there's no one way to wear it.

I know that there's so many ways to do it, but I can't still figure out which one is the best ! Or, at least, the "faster/easier" way ! Do you have any videos to show the instructions, or other pictures ? The two first ways of this topic are just.... bad.

I have a way that works out great. I'll show you this weekend.

cool, i just put my kit together, and the military moron ones looks cool, ill use that when were teamed together. Resistance and F3, always a fun combo.

Heres a great diagram Syphen made for me awhile back, wear it like a big scarf that u can pull up over ur mouth for additional protection/warmth. Protects the neck full time too.

I thought that one was just common sense. The "bandito"

Its so easy, ill make a video for you guys.

Is this the way you want it?

The way that you guys are showing is way way harder

im prety sure the top can be pulled back like the hood of a coat but then the face cover becomes loose and it falls down arond the neck like a scarf but i guess if you tie it a little titer when you let it down it should fit good

I wear it like I showed in the diagram, it works very well as a scarf around the neck, as well as tucked down under my tac vest for added warmth during winter. If your trying to arrange it like a reg scarf that wraps arround and then dangles down ur body, thats def not what shemagh's are made for ;)

no, i figured out how i like it, i just make the mask like in the first example, and pull the hood back and the mask down, works perfect.
