Kilt versus Shorts

[Jimmy]

Just back from 3 weeks in Lanzarote in the Canaries where the temperature was considerably high.
Everyone during the day was in shorts and indeed even in the evening.
In Scotland it can be very enjoyable wearing the kilt in a pleasant summer's day or evening but in the Canaries, shorts were much more comfortable than a kilt even if it was a lightweight one.
I understand from previous threads and posts the many members love wearing the kilt in high temperatures and find it very comfortable but surely shorts are much cooler than a kilt down to your knees
