I ordered this item based on its description. It came labeled as 100% silk. I am pretty well acquainted with the feel of silk due to working with fabrics and threads, and this really did not feel like silk at all to me, rather like 100% polyester. So I did a burn test with a couple of the loose threads on the liner, so as not to damage it. (I cut them off first.) The threads beaded right up into black plasticky beads, a sure sign of polyester. There was no burning-hair smell or gray ash, so it couldn't even be a silk blend. Very disappointing as I wanted to use this for a trip coming up soon. Better to label this what it really is.

This is a good quality bag liner. I felt it added about 5 degrees of warmth to my 40 degree sleeping bag and felt good against your skin( I put the shiny side to the inside). I did not like that the seams were all the way up both sides, so you had to climb into it from the top, effectively eliminating the convenience of your side zipping sleeping bag. I modified mine, by opening one side seam to within one foot of the bottom, to match the zipped length of my sleeping bag.

Bought this liner for occasional use in hostels and mountain refuges in the Alps. It is light, comfortable, and packs easily into the small stuff sack provided. Also seemed pretty warm, but only used it indoors. Only one complaint: it is a little too short for me (I'm 6' tall) so I couldn't use the pillow pocket.
