Review: Thin and Lightweight, but Warm - 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.
Review: Rothco -- What More Needs Saying? - I own several shemaghs, and Rothco has been a reliable source for many of them. Their shemaghs are generously sized, woven well, and hold up to repeated use without losing softness or structure. The patterns are clean, the colors stay true, and the fabric has the right balance of breathability and weight. In short, they function exactly as a shemagh should -- adaptable for warmth, sun protection, or everyday wear. Whether I am using one casually or in a more practical, tactical setting, I feel confident in a Rothco. They simply deliver the consistency and durability I expect.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rothco Shemagh - Purple
*by H***S on September 1, 2012*

After reading many reviews, I decided to purchase this Rothco Shemagh in purple. There were none of the flaws other people reported. No loose threats, no offensive odor. It was made in India and I washed it twice. The color did not fade. It did not shrink. The measurements are 42x42.5 The fabric is not too thin, not too thick and it feels soft. I am absolutely pleased with this scarf. I liked this Shemagh so much, I ordered another one. I just wanted to tell you the difference. My second Shemagh came from Army Universe for basically the same price. They had a color, black and silver, that Rothco did not have. The Army Universe Shemagh is made in Pakistan. There was no bad smell but a few loose threats. There were also some flaws in the pattern and the fabric was not woven as tight as the Rothco one. It was not as soft and it was smaller 38" x 41.5" Overall, the Rothco Shemagh looks better and feels better. Today, I have received my third Shemagh and now I can compare it with the regular Rothco and also one from Army Universe. This one is Foliage Green - which is more a gray with a tint of green, a very nice, camouflage color. It actually smelled nice but I washed it anyway, like all new clothes. I was surprised that the water stayed clean unlike the other two Shemaghs which I had to wash twice and rinse a few times. There were a few loose threats and minor mistakes in the pattern. It is supposed to be lightweight but I hardly noticed a difference. It is soft, like the other Shemagh from Rothco and it is the largest of the three with 43" x 43" Overall the quality was like the Shemagh from Army Universe. I see very little difference in a Shemagh made in India or Pakistan. Being able to compare the three different fabrics, I came to the conclusion that I will buy my next Shemagh based on price and color
