Review on Tactical Shemagh Arab Desert Keffiyeh Scarf Wrap For Women And Men 43"X43 by Ashwin Worlds

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not bad for the price, but choose the colors carefully.

I have a Blackhawk shemagh that I have used for years when I train in a desert environment in Nevada. A shemagh is a great choice for protection from the conditions in that type of environment. This year my youngest asked to make the training a family trip for a graduation present (Vegas is where he wants to go) so I needed to get a few more shemaghs.I chose these simply for the price point, and I got pretty much what I expected. It is not as nice as my Blackhawk, thinner and not as tight or as thick a fabric. The looseness of the weave tends to snag and a little irritating, but not a deal breaker. They are a good size, fairly square, and exactly as described. I got two different colors, sand and coyote , and they acted very differently when I gave them an initial soak to rinse out excess dye. The Sand came out of its bath almost exactly the same color as when it when it, not the case for the Coyote. It lot a lot of it’s original color, turning a yellow tinged beige. It also did not come out uniform in color as it has streaks of the original color. Bottom line, these will probably only get used once or twice so I was not concerned about getting the "name brand”. I do not feel that these are a bad buy, just not as nice as my Blackhawk. I got the product I paid for, and I am satisfied with the value. If you want a fair product for a fair price these certainly fit the bill. If you want a more premium product, and are willing to pay more, there are better choices.

Pros
  • Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry
Cons
  • May not provide enough coverage for those who want full concealment
