This is a good du rag. It's not silky but it's made out of the same material so in essence it's the same thing, it just doesn't feel silly. This du-rag is better than the dreams du-rag when it comes to reliability. It doesn't come off, it doesn't shift, but if you are a person who pulls extra hard when you put it on, it may ripp a little but overall for the cost, this is the best bang for your buck du-rag
