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: Pleasantly surprised upon arrival. - EDIT: I have used this extensively in the hot summer in my garden and on a few hikes. It is wonderful but very pink. It's been wet, dried, stressed, and holds up well though there is some minor tearing where it was really pulled hard. It makes a wonderful shawl and helps keep the mosquitoes from getting through my clothes! ORIGINAL: This has just now arrived and not been tested in the field. After reading a lot of reviews I was afraid I'd get something flimsy, dirty, or smaller than described. I was wrong. This came precisely as described. Not including the tassles, it measures 42x42 (actually a hair short of 42 on one side and a hair long on the other, less than 1/4" difference each way.) It is clean and doesn't smell, except for the dye. It reminds me of when I used to buy t-shirts with decals on them, not a strong smell. The weave is better/tighter than I expected. The holes in the weave are too small to measure - much less than 1mm each. The color (pink) is really pink. It feels strong. Pulling one edge from the other, I feel like I could rip it if I wanted to, but it would take effort. I'm sure I could hold one end down with a foot and rip the other with my hand. But for a lightweight item, it feels sturdy. I won't feel like I have to be dainty with it. I've just looked at some YouTube videos on how to tie this thing and it's long enough to do all of them, though 2" more wouldn't be bad. I'll probably buy another in another color someday. Looking forward to using this one. ## Features - Quality tested and ensured for maximum durability - Designed with only the toughest, roughest users in mind - Comfort and Performance come hand in hand with Rothco ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001ELUYXW | | Age Range Description | Adults | | Apparel Fabric Stretch | No Stretch | | Apparel Fabric Weight Class | Lightweight | | Best Sellers Rank | #122,765 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #23,879 in Men's Fashion | | Brand Name | Rothco | | Care instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Collection Name | Spring | | Color | Black / White | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,839 Reviews | | Fabric Type | 100% Cotton | | Fabric type | 100% Cotton | | Item Weight | 0.27 g | | Manufacturer | PROOK | | Material | Cotton | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 613902853744 | | Pattern | Solid | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Size | One Size | | Style | Tactical | | Style Number | 613902853744 | | UPC | 613902853744 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Rothco Shemagh Tactical Desert Keffiyeh Scarf - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qhanindpL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thin and Lightweight, but Warm *by D***D on October 11, 2012* 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.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rothco mens Tactical - Rothco Shemagh Tactical Desert Keffiyeh Scarf – Versatile Head and Neck Wrap – Great for Camping, Hiking, and Other Outdoor Activities - Black/Blue - Rothco Shemagh Tactical Desert Keffiyeh Scarf – Versatile Head and Neck Wrap – Great for Camping, Hiking, and Other Outdoor Activities - Grey --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/1494341-rothco-shemagh-tactical-desert-keffiyeh-scarf](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/1494341-rothco-shemagh-tactical-desert-keffiyeh-scarf) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
