What is the difference between a turban and a shemagh?

My understanding is that shemagh is a long scarf that wraps around the neck and face as well as up over the head. A turban is headgear and, in the West at least, is pre-tied and sewed together so that is only looks as if it might have been wrapped about the head. It does not cover the face or next. Turbans have been popular with women in the US from time to time since the early 1800's and maybe before.

It depends what place, usually no. A backwards baseball cap helps nearly as much, and protects the back of the neck better. A neck guard is also a good (and inexpensive) idea. Actual neck guards are sold, but a Bandanna, or Shemagh work just as well.

What airsoft facemask should you use?

If you are going to be an airsoft sniper, you will need goggles, and not a full face mask. While this will allow you to use an optic better, it means you could get hit in the face. So you should also play with a scarf/shemagh, and be ready to surrender if people get close, unless you want face welts.


What to wear to a paintball match?

Since a mask is mandatory, The next best things to wear for protection are a backwards baseball type cap, a cup and a neck protector (shemagh, scarf). For the rest of the clothes, you should wear clothes one season colder then it currently is. This will make you hot, but it will also help absorb the impact of paintballs. Jeans and a long sleeve shirt are standards for beginners, but most fields rent camouflage jump suits. It is not recommended to wear neon or bright colors, because this attracts allot of attention. Any brown, black, or green shirts/ jackets/ coats you have will be fine. Boots are necessary if you want to play outside, as well as high socks.
