Has anyone ever used a silk sleeping bag liner?

I have seen some people mention that the use of silk sleeping bag liner. Does anyone have experience of using a silk sleeping bag liner ?

Silk liners are good, warm to get into straight away, feels good, keeps sleeping bag clean, very light, no bulk.

I always use a silk liner when in a sleeping bag. I just spent 2 months in a tent and a sleeping bag liner is one of those little things that makes life so much more comfortable if you are using sleeping bags a lot

I use one - it adds two or three degrees to the warmth of the bag in my experience, in addition to the added convenience of cleaning.

I'd go with silk since it packs smaller and is lighter. It also doesn't absorb odours as much as cotton. I used a silk one for my trip to India and was very happy with it.

Having used one before, I would definitely say that a liner gives a lot of extra warmth to your sleeping bag, and they are very light too. The big advantage of a silk liner is that after washing they dry very quickly

I use a silk liner one but in the mornings I am always trussed up - just can't seem to get the knack.

I have one of these to help substitute carrying a heavy bag. Works as a outer liner for your down bag and as a summer bag, packs really small and weighs nothing.

As a long distance hiker turned long distance cyclist, I have been using a cocoon silk liner for years. I especially like that it packs up so small that I can pack it in the top of our sleeping bag stuff sack, ready for the next night in the tent!

I think they are mainly used so its easier to clean than the sleeping bag, mine adds little warmth.

I laughed so much when reading this! Hilarious yet useful!

Silk always! Cool in warm weather, warm in cold weather. If you think about it, silk is nature's way of keeping the silkworm at a constant temperature. Also has insecticidal properties so may help ward off bed bugs , lice etc.

I have both silk and microfiber sleeping bag liners. In general, I prefer the feel of the silk but it does seem to create more static than the microfiber (if that bothers you). The silk packs a little tighter, the microfiber is easier to wash.
