For the unititiated, why do folks choose silk for PJs and bag liners?
Lower 
weight than similar pieces in other material?  Second use as bug
reistant 
fabric?  Good at keeping skin oils and dirt from sheets or a bag?  Easy 
laundry?   Slickness to aid turning under sheets or in a bag?  From some
of 
the posts, I gather that it doesn't aid turning inside a sleeping bag
very 
much.

Mostly because it's the most lightweight, compressible fabric that's
also really comfortable on bare skin.  Cotton is generally heavier while
synthetics generally aren't as nice to sleep in.  But it's not the only
choice.
