Mato & Hash Military Shemagh Tactical 100% Cotton Scarf Head Wrap

I have purchased several shemaghs prior to this one. I am always on the lookout for the most efficient piece of gear with multiple pou's at an affordable price point. I have bought shemaghs before and have never been fully satisfied. They have always been too small, too poorly woven, or even came to me different than advertised. When I saw this shemagh for the lowest price I have seen on the market, I was skeptical, as all the others I have bought were $10-30. But I risked it and I must say it was the best pocket change I have ever spent. It is extremely well woven, closely knitted and yet breathable. It is soft and absorbable and works all around much better than any shemagh I have purchased so far. I have used this on many run and gun drills that have lasted all day in the Texas heat and it has held up and performed far better than any other. Halfway through my drills I have to take any other off! I give this a sold A! I purchased the stone tan color and it is to the t as the pictures, nice sand color. Already going to buy an od one next!

This keffiyeh doesn't feel nearly as cheap as the price would imply. The quality is pretty good and it has become a staple of my autumn/spring attire. I bought it primarily for hiking in New York state and it is very comfortable and warm despite being thin enough to be breathable. It was even worn through the recent winter with temperatures down to -20*C with wind chill and served me well. On the opposite side of the spectrum, when visiting my in-laws in the hill country of central Texas it also works very well in the traditional style for keeping out the dust.It also generates a surprising number of compliments as a fashion item, and has, on more than one occasion, caused people in New York City to assume I'm French. Being English I'm not sure how to take that, but I think it's a compliment...All in all, I love it and will buy another the second it wears out.

As a military wife this came in highly recommended and let’s just say I’m not disappointed at all he has had this for a little over 2 years and it’s still going strong

The product shipped quickly, and arrived before amazons expected arrival date. It was folded and packaged nicely, something like a folded handkerchief. Upon taking my new shemagh from the package, I noticed a piece of tape with writing on it. Thinking that it was the inspector’s stamp of approval, I removed one site, only to discover that the sewing was not complete. This defect isn’t really an issue for me, just beware. Over all I’ll rate at 4 stars. Quick delivery, good looking shemagh, great price.

Four. While this was my first, I now have four of these. This shemagh is large enough to wrap in several configurations depending on the requirements. When I'm working in the yard on 98* summer days, this is wrapped around my head and neck. Sure, I'll sweat at first but then it keeps me much cooler. When its cold and windy, this works better than any scarf my mother tied around me as a kid. We went camping last month and I forgot my pillow. After wrapping my jacket in this, all with right with the world.

It doesn't get that cold in Southern California, but it's all relative, and when it reaches 34-40 in the early morning hours to head to work, this shemagh makes it okay to head outside, even if you just use a hoodie, and/or a thermal. Heck, even a scarf that covers your neck and ears makes makes a hell of a difference.I have one that was bought from an Army Navy Surplus store several years ago. Still gets used from time to time, but wanted another one for myself to keep in my car at all times (can never be too prepared) for friends or dates (it's helped me in the past...dont judge me!).This one is about the same quality, although this one is a bit thicker when compared to that old Army Navy one. I love that it still kept me warm, and also help keep the sweat off of me during the early mornings in the office (the vent for the heat and ac was directly into my cubicle.... it's still a no-win situation), so it acted the same as I needed for part of the day.Theres not much to even compare, as this brand had exactly what I wanted. Oversized, but was not too cumbersome to use daily during those cold winter months. Washed multiple times and maintained the Blackout color. I even used it as a mask when heading into store when I forgot my N95 mask at home, or was in a rush to get my items...not a problem for most.All around, I love this thing, so much so that I took the chance and bought the different color ways I wanted (Blackout, Black/White, and White/Black). that old Army Navy one now stays as a back up for me...in an dates' ride...it went well, waiting for the 3rd date :)

I really like the way these scarfs make me stand out in a crowd. I wrap one of these bad boys around my head and walk in to the airport just to see what kind of beat down I recieve. I also like the reaction I get when I wear this scarf with a backpack, it gets really good when I drop the backpack and take off running yelling Ali Babba, Mohammad aka bar and Islamic sounding words. It's so funny because once the mob of people chase me down and corner me I then unwrap my face and say "gotcha!" That usually ends painfully but well worth it. I almost gave it 4 stars but I dont like how it makes my head sweat on hot days, I still don't understand how the people of the Middle East can wear these things on 115 degree days but hey maybe the sweat cools them down? Regardless you can't argue with the way these scarves can radically transform any outfit in your closet. Nothing yells "get down" or "everybody run" like one of these bad boys wrapped around your head. I think Obama would look really good in one of these in fact I bet he has several of them in and around the White House. So if you want to scare the hell out of a crowd of people or just have a really ugly face I highly suggest you add a couple of these to your cart, they are well made and worth the low cost.
