Hajj and Umrah Ihram Set, 100% Purified Cotton, Size L/M, Lightweight, 2 Pieces 210x105 cm

Two cotton pieces, each 105 x 210 cm, supplied as a set that weighs 1,050g in total. Each piece gives you a generous length of cloth to wrap the lower body and drape over the shoulder during Hajj and Umrah. The fabric is 100% cotton at 250 GSM, a mid-weight cloth that is soft, breathable and absorbent.

Why pilgrims choose cotton for Ihram

• Breathable — cotton lets air pass through the weave rather than trapping it against the skin.
• Absorbent — the fibres take up moisture during long hours of standing and walking.
• Soft against skin — 100% cotton with no synthetic scratch, which counts when a single garment is worn for many hours at a stretch.
• 105 x 210 cm per piece — a large piece of cloth with fabric to spare for a secure wrap.
• Two pieces supplied — one for the lower body, one for the upper.
• Durable and easy to maintain — made for repeated use, not a single trip.
• Practical beyond the pilgrimage — the same cotton works for travel and everyday use at home.

What 250 GSM means

GSM stands for grams per square metre, a standard way of describing how much fabric is packed into a given area of cloth. As a general guide, lower-GSM cottons are thinner and lighter, while higher-GSM cottons are thicker and heavier to carry. At 250 GSM this Ihram set sits in the mid-range rather than at either extreme, which is why it is described as lightweight while still being a full cotton cloth.

Size

Supplied in size L/M. Each of the two pieces measures 105 x 210 cm, and the complete set weighs 1,050g.

Care

General cotton care applies. Fabric softener coats cotton fibres and can reduce absorbency, which is one of the properties you want from this cloth, so it is best avoided. Air drying helps cotton keep its shape and hand feel.
