Pakul

Traditional Afghan Pakul is a head covering with a long and fascinating history. It is especially popular in the mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan, providing reliable protection against the cold mountain climate. Thanks to its versatile design and material, the pakul is known for its practicality and simple size adjustment—just roll the brim to fit the head circumference as needed.
Traditionally, the pakul is made from sheep wool or a blend of natural fibers, ensuring excellent thermal insulation, natural breathability, and comfort. Originally, the pakul was used mainly by mountain dwellers seeking a head covering that could shield them from harsh mountain winds while being lightweight and easily adjustable.
In modern contexts, the pakul has become a popular accessory for military reenactments and Mil-Sim or LARP airsoft events, where it helps create an authentic look and provides great comfort. This head covering is not only a stylish but also a functional accessory.
