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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: are these shemaghs made in Pakistan ?**
A: Just got mine....Tag says "India".

**Q: What is wrong with Amazon's product descriptions theses days?  It is listed as one inch wide by two inch high!**
A: By now you should know this is NOT Amazon's fault.  It is the seller that posts the description and size.

Ask the seller to fix it instead of always blaming Amazon!

**Q: is it 100% cotton?**
A: Yes 100% cotton.

**Q: I recently got mine. I heard you're suppose to soak in water before I wear it is that true? If not do I just hand wash it in cold water?**
A: Soaking before you wear it is when you intend to wear it to keep you cool in the heat. Keeping it moist when wearing it helps to cool you off. As far as washing, With 100% cotton shemagh you should hand wash and hang dry.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't go wrong with a Rothco
*by B***K on December 4, 2023*

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.
