I need some advice on silk sleeping bag liner.

Many years ago in my early back-packing days, I would use a hostelling cotton liner. The reason why I converted to silk was that silk is being light, packs small and most important (to me) is silk dries out muck quicker than cotton.
I have the Sea to Summit 100% Premium Silk Liner liner and I rate it pretty good, although not cheap, cost me £45, I think you can them a bit cheaper on Amazon.

The lighter weight is offset by the cost, but on longer backpacking trips it's the amount of weight you carry that's important.

I really can't figure out when one would want to use one for travel. If you're in bed.....what's the use of a sleeping bag liner? Would you really want to be in a bag if you don't have to be?

They're often used for sanitary reasons. In a grungy hostel bed they provide some protection and some additional warmth.

You pay for what you get when it comes to Silk sleeping bag liners - splash the cash and enjoy the difference (and let your sleeping bag lasts longer).

I have 3 different silk liners, but by far the best is the sea to summit rectangular one. Its ripstop silk and it seems to stay in place better, its warmer, lighter and never constrictive.

I've got one of the silk liners that lidl were selling several years ago. I'm sure it only cost a tenner or maybe less, but is is brilliant and very well made.

I've had (and used) a silk sleeping bag liner for 7 years now, both on its own and inside a sleeping bag. Best $40 CDN I've ever spent. Dries quickly as well. It's my little bit of luxury when traveling on a budget!
