RothcoShemagh Tactical Desert Keffiyeh Scarf

This is my 8th Rothco shemagh. They have all been great I got the grey with black weave this time. Very sturdy, good for when you want something that can be roughed around a bit and not worry about ruining, it will hold up for a while and the price is right. The weave looks great on both sides. One has more black showing, the other has more grey showing.The web page says it's made in China, the label says made in India, just like every Rothco I've bought. Label also says 100% cotton, as advertised. Feels like it too.The fabric is a little rough to the touch, but not as bad as the Explore Land shemaghs that I bought. It began softening up very nicely after hand washing once and wearing for a couple days.

I have some rothco shemaghs and a few from Explore land which is okay but compared to the rothco, rothco is superb. It is more thicker than the explore land and more tightly sown. No product is perfect I saw one loose thread but removing it never made damage so most likely a spare from factory. I am very pleased with how it's slightly more thicker and very big. These are slightly bigger than the explore land brands. When it comes to shemaghs with standard colors, I am sticking with the rothcos unless I want specific colors to add to my wardrobe. I have a black and a foliage one still going strong to this day for 4 years and there's no sign of rips, discoloration and deformities. If you want a quality shemagh that will hold up with reasonable use, you can't go wrong with these. My only wish is I wish all the shemaghs are prime so I can get them faster and to a secure Amazon pick up location as my neighborhood is bad. Even so I'm willing to send to my sister's place and retrieve them later. Everytime I want a shemagh of standard colors, I stick with rothco. Lol I know I sound like I'm sponsored to them but I ain't lying, these feel so much solid and bigger than others on Amazon.

Good product, well made, soft to touch and soft on neck skin. Buy,100% satisfaction

I know there are much more genuine shemaghs out there, but these ones are great for their price. They seem thin and somewhat flimsy, but rest assured, they are rather tough. I have one for work, I wear one when riding motocross in my back yard, and I've actually taken one out to the snow and it works great! A must-have for the survivalist, and they do look pretty sweet when worn as a mask/scarf. I've bought 4 now, 3 for me, and one for the young'un, and the quality has remained somewhat consistent, and they are very useful for a multitude of things. Remember not to wash them in a machine, and go easy on the soap. Mine have held together great after a year, being tested as limb slings/splint ties, face cloths, hot/cold wear, a quick bandage, carry bag etc. As long as Rothco doesn't skimp out on quality, you should be pretty happy with these.

I was surprised at how thin the shemagh was when it arrived, but after perfecting how to put it on I was surprised at how warm it became.I brought it along backpacking at Glacier National Park in early May where I really learned just how useful it was. Glacier in May is still very cold, it dipped below zero every night and snowed a few times while we were up there. When the sun disappears behind the mountains the temperature drops.I most often wore it around my neck while still tied in the configuration that I could pull it over as a hood and around my mouth as a mask. When tied like that it provides excellent insulation (hot or cold) and just feels really good. The cotton almost feels like fleece. I often wear it like that for a majority of the day at my cabin.When you have the mask around your face it blocks wind as well as any single-purpose mask you could ever buy. However, I wear glasses and often those single-purpose thinsulate or any other material masks always, always cause my breath to fog my glasses. I've never had my glasses fog up wearing my Shemagh.The hood keeps you as warm as a light wool cap, but with the benefit of covering most of your exposed skin instead of just the top of your head. I wear it at night because cold air still gets into your sleeping bag through the hole where your head is. I've found nothing better to stave off that cold than the Shemagh.Even in the heat, after several hours of backpacking I threw it over my back where my shirts were soaked in sweat and becoming too cool in the sun. It stopped the sun from evaporating too much sweat too quickly and kept the temperature much more even.When you're not using it, it's light and thin enough to pack anywhere comfortably.It was great to take along backpacking in the cold and it'll be the first thing packed when I head out next year, and I keep it on me at all times of the day any day of the year at my cabin. It's permanently a part of my cold-weather gear, and I even keep it in my car during the summer for those cold morning commutes. It was worth the $15 or so I paid and easily that much again.

This is a great scarf! It the right size, (I have a big head so I hate when it’s smaller than advertised). The material is nice and breathable. It holds up when you tie it doesn’t fray or come apart, and the color is nice. Definitely a good purchase if your in the market for a shemag!

Fresca versátil 100% recomendable la compraría otra ves

Excelente material y buen diseño

Man merkt einen spürbaren Unterschied zu billigeren Tüchern. Dieses Shemagh bzw. der Stoff ist sehr robust und trotzdem weich. Am Hals ist es warm und nicht kratzig, aber man kann auch eine ordentliche Ladung Feuerholz damit tragen, ohne dass das Material leidet. So stelle ich mir das vor! Werde keine anderen mehr kaufen.

Good quality. Fast shipping. Great color.
