I wear both styles. Both are equally comfortable. I tend to tie "traditional" for work etc but for gatka, squash, paintballing etc then it has to be gol style (mine's not a dhumulla - just some sort of gol style that I worked out) . The latter is much more stable under "adverse conditions" in my experience.

I do find that my glasses are slightly more comfortable in the trad. style; but that could be because I tie the gol style that much tighter.

If you havent seen them already theres some good dastar tying vid up on Ektaone. Check the following page

A slight aside; when ever I see many Sikhs together; like the recent demo I often end up admiring all the myriad dastar styles - our kaurs and singhs look so good. I'll even try some of the other styles but they never seem to quite suit me - well in my head and in the mirror at least they don't ;-)

So I'd advise - trial away - see what works for you. And check out all the various pics around for some really cool dastaars. And don't go too tight - your brain needs that blood :-)

Oh one last thing - when you're trialing out; and you're tying dastaar after dastaar it don't half build up the arm muscles. It can be a pretty good work out :-)

Gol is better for activities. The Patiala Shahi etc look very nice but for are useless when it comes to doing anything physical in them (running, fighting etc etc). The shahi dastaar looks better when wearing a suit etc for work.

I saw some good styles in Pak last year. There old blokes tie dastaar like you see in old pictures, the cloth looks very loose one one side and not in any order. The youngsters there tie shahi type dastaar where each bal is nice and clean to the eye.

guessing that the pix in your profile is of yours.. and from that your turban is way much better than most of us .. Cool style.. don't change it.. but never a bad thing if you want to try other styles :doh:

YEP! Dumala is the most comfortable thing out there for me! I learned it, even though it took me a year to come to the right style!
