103 customers mention "Quality"91 positive12 negative

Customers appreciate the quality of the head and neck covering. They say it's well-made, thick, and durable. The thickness and hardiness make up for the 2" loss from the traditional 47". It comes in a great plastic container that customers still use to store the shemagh.

23 customers mention "Color accuracy"13 positive10 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the color accuracy of the product. Some find it has a deep brown color that's darker than desert, and the colors have held up well. Others mention the product is green and black instead of brown and black, and the colors do bleed when washed. There are no options to select the color you want, and there is a lot of free dye in the material.

"...It is in a nice medium green and will blend nicely with a forest or woodsy background. Look at the pictures of it for goodness sake...." Read more

"...Update: color definitely bleeds when washed but I washed with blue jeans and it wasn't a big deal...." Read more

23 customers mention "Material thickness"7 positive16 negative

Customers have different views on the material thickness. Some find it thicker and heavier than others, warm and robust. Others say the material is thinner than expected, scratchy, and so thin you can see through it. The quality is good but could have better density.

"...It's a good thickness for a shemaugh, it's not as thick as a wool sweater but I didn't order a wool sweater, I ordered a shemaugh...." Read more

"...Some are made thinner for summer wear. I have purchased many from different companys. Blackhawk is a woven heavier material , quality made...." Read more

"...This one is very good but not the best. Quality is good but can have better density, it's warm, average sized...." Read more

Best for keeping you cool and protection from the summer sun.
Found a lot of these on Amazon.com with mixed reviews and some cheaper than others but nothing that sold me. I chose this one because I believed BLACKHAWK! products to be very good quality and wasn't disappointed. I'm unsure of the material used and am honestly not too concerned, I've worn plain cotton T-shirts, moisture wicking shirts and even bandannas while working in the hot sun that have given me heat rash with no cooling or protection from the summer heat, but this shemaugh has always kept me cool. I just soak the whole thing in cool tap water and head outside with no worries. This fits and wraps around my neck very easy and I have a large chest and neck with room to spare! Be aware that this should be washed a few times on very delicate cycle so the dye can rinse out otherwise it'll be on you instead.

    I'm not understanding some of the negative reviews. Some complained about the light fabric. This is not advertised as being protection from extreme cold and wind. It is a perfect size as far as I'm concerned. And the light fabric means it breathes and I can use it in the sun to protect my head and neck. It also keeps some chill and wind out. For extreme cold, I have a heavy balaclava. For what I expected, this is very nice functionally and in appearance and is of good quality. Contrary to what one-star reviewer said, this is NOT bright green. It is in a nice medium green and will blend nicely with a forest or woodsy background. Look at the pictures of it for goodness sake. And many reviews on Youtube show this very model. You won't regret.

Quality is there for sure, read a few complaints about the material being thin. It's a good thickness for a shemaugh, it's not as thick as a wool sweater but I didn't order a wool sweater, I ordered a shemaugh. Color is great, OD and black look like they are supposed to. I have not washed it yet but I will update about the dye washing out or not when i do.

    Update: color definitely bleeds when washed but I washed with blue jeans and it wasn't a big deal. Color is still good though and I still recommend it.

    What can be said about Shemaughs....There uses are many, warmpth when cold, water added cool when hot, anti bug cover, sand,wind cover ,compression, bandages, tourniquet ,sprain wraps,carry firewood, camouflage, gun wraps and the list goes on. Some are woven, some are woven thicker, great for fall/winter outings. Some are made thinner for summer wear. I have purchased many from different companys.
    Blackhawk is a woven heavier material , quality made. Rothco, 5 star, are less expensive, thinner but still will work fine. Id stay away from the printed shemaughe as they dont hold up as well. When new, hand wash, soak in vineger/ or ice to set the dye. Rinse gently and line dry. they will thicken like a soft tee shirt. I carry one of these in all my survival/outing packs.

    I wear Shemaugh for more than 20 years. This one is very good but not the best. Quality is good but can have better density, it's warm, average sized. If you are looking for bigger size, softness, and the best density you should think.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Worthwhile purchase
    Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2020
    Color: Brown/BlackVerified Purchase
    I've never had a shemagh, I picked up this one when shopping for a large bandana (which I also bought.) This is what I can only assume to be an authentic item having never been to the region, but it is what I would have expected in terms of the weave of the fabric being slightly loose and the patterned being woven in rather than printed. It had a very slight odor of dye out of the package and bled color profusely when washed, as one might expect of the authentic item, then dried soft, clean smelling, and airy. I won't oversell this, but I'm happy with mine and would not hesitate to endorse this product.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Get the Coyote Tan/Black version of this Blackhawk Shemagh Instead
    Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2021
    Color: Brown/BlackVerified Purchase
    Similar to J. Wheels' review, the first time this gets we the color bleeds everywhere. The material is good, and other than the dye, appears to be a good product. Both this and the Coyote Tan/Black shemagh from Blackhawk are from Pakistan, not China as per this product description.

    The Coyote Tan/Black shemagh barely had any color dye bleed, so if you might ever get your shemagh wet or wash some funk out, get that color instead.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than expected
    Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2014
    Color: Brown/BlackVerified Purchase
    Knowing I had a big desert MTB race coming up I knew I had to do something to keep the dust out of my face to keep my allergies under control. It occurred to me that maybe the people living in the middle east, both natives and armed forces operatives, must know one thing or two about the hot, dry and very dusty outdoors. This thing really worked for me during the race. It kept my allergies at bay and much to my surprise I didn't feel particularly hot wearing it. As a matter of fact I think it helped to reduce dehydration as I didn't need to drink as much water as I used to. A couple more advantages: it is very light and I didn't feel any restriction to breathe. I followed other reviewers' advice and washed it a couple times before using it. Therefore, I wasn't left with a stained face after the race. It does fade a little bit with the washes but I think it looks better as this is more of a rough/outdoors kind of thing.
