Not Just For The Desert Anymore
I ordered these to essentially play with . . . okay I saw them used on the series "The Unit" and thought they looked cool. They have good quality, and there are many different patterns and colours to get, and mine might look drab, but that has more to do with my colour blindness than anything else. Nonetheless, a few videos later, and I am tying this up like a desert dweller. The original developers of this amazing piece of cloth are enormously creative and intelligent. I am not writing from the big book of hyperbole when I say this - this would work well for the summer, but work as well in the winter. Here in Northwestern Ontario, the winter can be quite cold, and the wind can whip up rather quickly. This type of head and face covering is good for staying warm. I do own cold weather gear that is warmer, but not so light and easily packed.I do get people looking at me twice though, but they are walking so quickly to get out of the winter storm, they really don't bother me. Maybe they even look a bit jealous too. There are other things to wear, but this folds up nicely. It takes up very little space and has earned a special, and permanent place in my EDC and my Jeep.

NOT COTTON! But very nice anyway.
Very Nice, but NOT 100% COTTON! Put a flame to a tassel and you will see it melt, ball up, and drip molten material. Must be polyester or blend of synthetics. They advertise it as cotton, but the one I received was definately not. If that is not a concern for you, read on...This is a very solid material. It is slightly scratchy. Might be some wool, or goat hair, or camel hair in it, who knows? It does not come with a label for country of manufacture or materials. The scratchiness might go away after a couple washings.It is not exactly square, but nice and large, a full 44 inches not counting the tassels, which by the way are longer than tassels of some other shemaghs, and all four sides are tassled. Some other brands only have tassels on two sides.This Shemagh arrived properly packaged and it was clean and neat and did not have any foul odors or nasty stains.When I washed it, the color did not fade (Green and Black). I washed it by hand first, expecting the dyes to run, but they did not. After first use, I washed it in the the washing machine along with my towels, and still no fading can be seen.Here are some washing tips: I used one of those little zipper bags that my wife uses for delicate items, just to make sure it didn't get pulled apart in the washing machine. The open weave of these fabrics can get snagged on the machine or on zippers if you wash it with other items. Use cold water only. Don't put it in the dryer unless you want to tempt your fate with shrinkage. Just hang it up somewhere and let it dry. The fabric is thin, so they air dry pretty fast anyway.If you don't mind synthetic fibers, this Shemagh will do the job, and with that in mind I give it five stars.

Very comfortable and warm
I was working in a warehouse that was unheated and would wrap this around my head and neck. It kept me very warm and comfortable. It good quality, easy to breathe through, and washable. The size of it makes it big enough to wrap and not feel tight on my head and face.

Decent for the Price, Lots of Good Memories
I bought this Shemagh years ago when I was younger and wore it a lot. The quality isn’t amazing, but for around $11, it’s more than fair. It looked good, held up through casual use, and worked in both cold and sunny weather.It’s not really my style anymore, but I still have great memories wearing it. If you want something affordable and decent for light use or fashion, this one’s a solid pickup.

It fulfills it's role perfectly.
I will not vote this 1 star; and heres why.Many people complain about how this isn't the thickest material, and the weave is bad so it falls apart easier, compared to professional middle eastern shemaghs. And heres the thing; there 100% correct.The weave on this isn't good, and after very little use I can see the stitching already begin to come apart, and can tell it's begun to come apart. But it does exactly what it was advertised to do. The colors look great, and they do not fade. I got the product in prestine condition, with no rips or missing fabric. They wash and dry great, and don't need any special attention, which would be required for a "traditional" shemagh.This is a mass produced item made for those that would like to own a piece of culture, or a nice looking fashion accessory. This IS NOT a traditionally made Shemagh with the purpose of sheltering you from the weather of a middle eastern desert; and never once was I left with that impression before buying it.So again, yes this product has it's flaws. However, the price does not lie. This is not the best shemagh you can find; however it fulfills it's role perfectly. Do not be put off buying this item by reviewers that demand all items be perfect and traditional. This is not a $80 shemagh hand crafted by someone in Palestine. This item is exactly what it's supposed to be; And I recommend it to all.

The material is very nice.
The media could not be loaded. I like that this comes in many, many different colors. These are gorgeous. You can definitely match them with multiple outfits which is a huge plus. I wear a lot if white, black, beige, browns, etc so the color I chose is perfect. The material is a bit thicker, and would definitely keep sand, dust, and snow out of your face, however is very absorbent. The look of this is very nice. The size is huge so you have multiple ways to wear it. This is an amazing product 👏.

Not 100% cotton!!
The color is fantastic, and material seams durable. It's not that soft cotton I was hoping for, but still comfortable.
