RothcoMen's Lightweight Shemagh Tactical Desert Scarves

We have used this scarf at multiple rallies and my kids always like to wear them to show solidarity. It is easy to put on and the fabric is soft and the material is strong, it fits well overall.

Bought mine a few years back and I just recently misplaced it. Got it a few years back on a whim and have been using it for so much, mainly as a do-rag or a bandana. Whether it's hiking or riding my motorcycle this shemagh has been used over the years a lot. I've gotten it caught on a few thorn bushes here and there and it's held up to the abuse great! My brother bought his from this same seller about the same time years ago and still has his so-.If I ever need to buy one again it'll be from these guys!

These are made for people in a desert environment, and people who deal with harsh realities. If you are a person who deals with sunshine, bugs, wind, cold, and works outside, this is a reasonable cost option for you. There is nothing that says that you cannot wear this along with bandanas, face masks, woolen shawl, or whatever your particular style is (that day). This could be considered an "accessory", but it is darn handy. This is a lightweight version. The prices matches the quality. I bought this for the weather.

The scarf/shemagh/keffiyeh/whatever you prefer to call it looks exactly like the picture here. The pattern is woven in, not dyed in like a cheap rag. The weave is about right and the size is about right. The only thing I found curious was the declaration on the label that this was "combat tested." I understand that NATO Coalition troops use these, but that's still a weird claim to make.But whatever. It's a decent scarf and I'm glad I got it.

These work pretty good, but they tend to unravel in the washing machine.

The quality was better than expected and it kept me warm in the winter even though I live in FL. I use it when I ride my motorcycle and it's very stylish. Although it did shirink when I washed it, it seemed to fit even better in my own honest opinion. I really do enjoy it, and I got the black and white one which I highly recommend.

These are simply awesome, I use them almost everyday... in the winter! this only gets 4 stars because it is listed as *lightweight*. I have another shemagh that *is* what I would consider lightweight and I use it year-round. This one is strictly for winter for me. To be fair, there are even heavier shemaghs out there, so this could be considered lightweight in comparison. It also could be in the way I fold it to use it as a scarf. Anyway, for the price these rock. Pro-tip on *any* shemagh: DO NOT USE YOUR WASHING MACHINE OR DRYER! Hand wash and line dry or else you will probably not like the results, it will alter the structure completely. I did this and still use them, but I would have liked them better had I not. Oh well, could always use more. Another interesting fact: These are also known as Keffiyeh [...] and some associate the black and white pattern with Palestinian liberation. Others claim it is cultural appropriation [...]and you can also find opinions that say the item is so common that it's use does not represent cultural appropriation [...] As a cultural anthropology graduate, I'm sure I *should* know but I must say I do not, the answer is not clear to me, and since the article has reportedly been used for ~100 years maybe more, I'm not sure if it can solely be tied to any political movement or ethnic group. I wear it because I ride my bike 365 days a year and I need a good scarf that is thick and provides exceptional coverage and flexibility and stays put, and these fit the bill. Would love to hear opinions on its use.

This is a top quality shemagh. The product was received in perfect condition and has held up nicely. I've had two prior service soldiers tell me how great the quality is. They both bought the exact same item and currently love it just as much as I do. I highly recommend this product and seller if you're looking for a quality shemagh.
