RothcoShemagh Tactical Desert Keffiyeh Scarf

I have had this particular shemagh for the last few months and have used it at least a few times a week / every day since it came in. I work outside on a regular basis and I am an avid hunter. I purchased this product after reading the countless ways to use a shemagh and the practicality of an "Oversized Handkerchief". I have never owned a shemagh before purchasing this one and I unfortunately don't have any other ones to compare it to, but I LOVE this one. I would recommend washing it in warm water first (I threw mine in the washer and dryer once) to soften up the fabric. It still smells like dryer sheets when I place it over my face and it is very soft. It makes a noticeable difference when wrapped around your neck and face in the cold. I have not used it in the heat yet, but I believe that it would also be beneficial to wet it down and place it around your neck to help cool off.I wouldn't recommend it as a substitute for a good stocking cap but I think it is better than a neck gator. I use it to hunt with as well, thus why I purchased the OD green one. It makes for pretty good camo as well. The shemaugh has held up well, hasn't frayed or come apart, and has not left any fuzzy material on my face or neck.I would fully recommend this product to any hunter, outdoorsman, or person in a military / law enforcement job setting. It is low in price, has a million applications for use, and is now a standard piece of gear I carry with me every day. You will not be disappointed.

Good quality, I have several cheaper ones that are not as heavy-duty. I like them also, you get what you pay for.

The garment is big beautiful and warm. I originally bought it to try out some head wraps that I had laying around and wanted to how easy it is to use it. Easy as pie. The Shemagh is both way and versatile it is use. I have used it to wrap sensitive electronics to keep safe to my neck in cold weather below -12 centigrade. The only thing that is off putting is the fact that when wet it tend to bleed alot onto other colors. It is not advisable to used wet and with white or bright colors. Other than that I would buy another in a heartbeat. Worth ever penny.

This is soooo useful for so many situations! I've had mine for about a year and a half now and I absolutely love it. When you first get it, be sure to follow instructions and wash it and continue to care for it, and it will give back. I use this as camouflage when playing airsoft and paintball, it blocks the sun from my eyes, I use it to keep my face warm in the winter, it can be a good looking scarf, it can be a mask for robbing banks or walking into town ominously, etc. etc. This is one of the most versatile objects I own. Hands down, this is worth the money.

Other reviewers have been very clear about the positives of this very well priced shemagh: it is a good size, decent material, warm and functional, and true to the photos.Three things to note:1. The material is actually quite thin - this means it packs small, but don't think this is a thick winter scarf (that is not what it is designed for)2. I did not like the smell when it arrived so immediately put it in the wash. The colors do run, so wash it separately. It may require more than one wash to keep the color true.3. On washing the mottled area in the middle of the shemagh goes from flat to crinkled / bouncy / stretchy. I think this is how they are supposed to be, and have no problem with it, but worth bearing in mind.

Protection, freshness, warmth and comfort, all in one.This product has helped me a lot in the rain forest of my country, because during the walks above the sun, I kept cool and away from the solar radiation and dust.When I get to the jungle, it keeps me cool, because the very humid tropical forest makes you sweat and this product keeps me free from the trouble.During the night it covers my face and protects me from the mosquitoes. Also gives you warm and protects you from wind and low temperatures in your face and neck.The fabric is lightweight, washable, easy to dry, very easy to roll or fold for storage.Perfect for protecting yourself from the elements.Also when you use it gives you a very cool look, the tough guy with an adventurous attitude. Hahahaha.

Rothco is the best!

This is a high quality product. The many different ways you can wear it allow for use in cold or warm weather. I use it backpacking all the time and it has moved up to an essential item for me. Great for covering your face from bugs, great for keeping sweat out of your eyes on the trail, great as an emergency pillow when you need to lay down because that hill you just climbed is the devil incarnate. Highly recommend!
