Other reviewers have been very clear about the positives of this very well priced shemagh: it is a good size, decent material, warm and functional, and true to the photos.

Three things to note:
1. The material is actually quite thin - this means it packs small, but don't think this is a thick winter scarf (that is not what it is designed for)
2. I did not like the smell when it arrived so immediately put it in the wash. The colors do run, so wash it separately. It may require more than one wash to keep the color true.
3. On washing the mottled area in the middle of the shemagh goes from flat to crinkled / bouncy / stretchy. I think this is how they are supposed to be, and have no problem with it, but worth bearing in mind.
