This was my first shemagh and it exceeded my (somewhat low) expectations. Knowing it wasn't an authentic Hirbawi shemagh I didn't know what to expect. I wore it almost exclusively as a scarf but still tied it the "right" way and it hung perfectly over my right shoulder as it should. Just heavy enough to stay warm on the uncharacteristically warm nights we had at this year at Burning Man 2017 and still light enough to wear during most days (except for the peak of the 103 degree days). Got compliments on it all week. (Sorry I don't have any better pictures)

A shemagh for every season

I wanted to wait long enough to give this product a fair review, and luckily it didn't take long for the proper opportunity. We finally got our first snowstorm of the year and it hit hard with a triple whammy of sub-freezing temperatures, 40-60mph winds and a modest 15 inches of snow with drifts over 4 feet. What does this have to do with a desert scarf? Plenty. As anyone who's spent hours outside in the snow can attest to.....traditional western scarves suck. They're thick, they limit airflow, they push your breath up into your eyewear causing it to fog up, and once they get wet...you've got LONG drytimes. This shemagh is a wonderfully soft cotton material, very breathable, and large. You can wear it in a multitude of ways and with a plethora of folds, providing all the warmth you desire. My favorite part though....it's thin and drytime is about 30-90 seconds held over the hot air vent in your vehicle. The patterning is beautiful and the feel is terrific. If I could find bedsheets made of this material, I would be completely happy. I've put it through 3 wash cycles (on delicate) and it still looks new, so I'm happy with the durability. I've had shemaghs from a few other companies and they've been too heavy/thick and sometimes even the worst offense of all....scratchy. This one has none of those faults. I will be ordering more for the eventual onset of mosquito season.

A Durable Slab of Cotton Thread

I have worn one of these for approximtely 350 hours. I wear it to protect me from the sun, keep me warm in the winter, and to conceal my face in security situations. I would recommend hand washing it in warm water and a light detergent. You will notice a significant amount of color bleed. I have washed it approximately 15 times and the tan colors appear to be holding quite well. Hang drying it is pretty quick due to the thin material. After it dries I would tighten the knots on the "tassels" as some of them from the factory were pretty loose. I think it is about halfway through its life at this point. It's no longer holding it's shape as well, and is noticeably stretched in certain areas. The dark brown thread has begun unravelling, although this is more due to the small threads catching on the hook side of velcro and the only way to get it off is to rip the threads. I have tightened the knots on the "tassels" twice, however they hold tight and isn't really necessary. It's very comfortable to wear and is a good size for different applications. I am pretty hard on mine and it has performed well. The casual wearer would have no issues with durability.

Dont even hesitate. These are a steal!

Very likely the finest quality Shemagh I've purchased, and I have a few dozen from various sources. Weave is tight and basically flawless. The weight should be perfect for all weather conditions. I'm currently using in winter and it's hovering around 10 degrees f here. The tassels are among the cleanest I've seen on a Shemagh - very uniform and doesn't have loose strings hanging everywhere like so many others do. You can tell the makers of these actually take pride in their product. I got the black/grey one and I wouldn't hesitate to use it as a scarf out on the town in full business attire... it's that nice. I'll definitely be buying more colors!

Got three of this brand, all are fine.

Wonderful. I have three shemaghs from this brand, different colors. This one might be my favorite overall, and if I could have only one, it'd probably be this brand, in this color (I think they called it "foliage"). It's a great "dry brush camo" sort of combo, of greenish-tan and mid-light green. Very "adaptive". Matches all my various Magpul furniture items and Brownell's spraypaint in the most perfect LARPy MILSIM fashion statement I could have ever wished for. Plus, it keeps the dust out of my mouth and nose and the sun off my neck. Win, win, WIN!

Nice Emergency Bag Item - Pretty Enough for Regular Scarf too.

For the car in case needed for the BOB (Bug Out Bag) or Get Home Bag (we have one backpack with emergency items and one with clothing/shoes if needed). We travel thru California desert areas frequently - so sun/dust (think earthquake) could be a possibility. Would not expect this to replace a N95 mask but has versatility. Picked a color based on price - but it's actually nice looking. Very soft, very reasonable quality at this price point, No smell. Machine washed first in a similarly colored pillow case and hung to dry (dried fast). Weight stored inside a gallon ziplock is 6 ounces (5.8 in a quart bag - tight wrinkled fit). Will order another for the other car instead of a bandana since either has a lot of possible uses in an emergency and we like this better than any of the bandanas we've picked up.

Protects well from the elements, looks nice

This is a durable scarf, soft patterned material. I've worn it many times in the snow & rain, it protects well. I've washed it a few times, I lie it flat to dry. It hasn't faded or frayed at all. I'm not a fan of tassels because they tend to knot up which in return makes the item look tattered. The ones on this scarf have remained in tact, and in place. It's quite fashionable as well, however I bought it to help endure the Winter weather here in New Jersey. I love it.

Fantastic.

It works for the winter in below freezing temperatures. Can't wait till it's warmer to wear in style. Lots of compliments on the style.

Comfortable and versitle!

I didn't have high hopes for this shemahg as the loose thread on the design and tag was the first thing I noticed when taking this out of the packaging. However I'm quite surprised. The price is great and it's very comfortable. My husband had a wool one from the Marines that was warm, but I didn't want one that heavy. I bought this for when I go Urban Exploring because of how versitle the shamahg is. This one is lightweight, but when wrapped well keeps my face perfectly warm. It works well over my GoPro headmount as well. I've used it several times and aside from the snags that where already visible, it's holding up just fine. I'm going to end up buying another because they can be used as an emergency bandage/sling, among other things. It's really a must have for anyone that spends a lot of time camping, hiking, and especially for my fellow urbexers!
