Mens Protective SAS Army Military Desert Tactical Neck Head Wrap Combat Sun Hat Scarf Shemagh Green, White, Blue, Black, Red, Sand (Combat Green/Black)

Good kit. Protects from dust etc

Good

Really versatile bit of kit. Very handy at warding off midges who seemed dead set on taking a bite of my sweaty head this summer. Also used it as a pillow and a sling for carrying my water bottle instead of that clanking around hitting buckles and sounding like a steel band. It also added a bit of warmth when used as a neck scarf at night. The lower score for material quality was down to washing it - it shrunk up and went waffled when it dried. I had to rewash and iron it when I got home. There were also signs of fraying and fabric thinning behind the knots after the two washes. But at the price I can live with that. It's a good size and I wore it comfortably in several different styles.

The item is possibly a little smaller than my other by about 10 cm. It fits well regardless of being a bit smaller. However, that said, the colour is brilliant (olive/black), the cloth is woven and really soft. It is quite a thin cloth though but this I believe is the point. I use it as a scarf/head/face wrap for my cold commute to work on my bicycle. Fits under the helmet and you can alter the level of coverage depending on the temperature. Also doubles as a handy pillow on the train. Also, let's be honest, it also looks good in general too.

Material is thin due to the fact it has to be light and extremely breathable hence i have to dispute others claims it beingade cheaply. Its exactly what i had when deployed years ago. This product is spot on, im very satisfied thank you.

Thought l'd try a shemagh for out & about. Nicely surprised with it, comfortable and snug, hardly know your wearing it. A few people say it's very casual but smart. Happy with it may buy another.

In the heat, soak these with cold water and drape it round your shoulders and they keep you cool for ages. Unfortunately - not really a proper unfortunately! - I was actually expecting a cheaper version of this, same as I already had from eBay however these are really good quality! Really good cotton and well made. Brilliant in heat and cold, well made, very much worth the price.

Why did you choose this product over others?: Perfect

Smaller than expected. I wasn't expecting too much at this price but was still disappointed. Thin, cheap quality cotton - Not "heavy premium weight" as described. The tassels are smaller than on a proper shemagh, and are too small to really be effective for moisture wicking. Generally feels light/flimsy, and was clearly made with cost-cutting in mind. Lots of fraying and loose fibres hanging off it. It's inexpensive but you'd be better off spending a few extra euros/pounds/dollars/etc to get a better, larger, sturdier scarf.

Love this scarff. Have washed several times,and no bleeding of color
