I'm making a kilt for a guy who's into ultralight backpacking, and is also heading across the pond for the Three Peaks Challenge this year. October is the plan. He recently bought his first kilt, a Utilikilt Survival, but the weight and the fact that it's 100% cotton are a no-go. He's leaning towards nylon/cotton ripstop as a reasonable compromise, but lately I've been thinking a lot about using Supplex. The fabric weight is about 3.5oz, so I'm thinking it'd be similar to both the Elkommando and the Sport Kilt hiker. If you have either of those, what are your thoughts about it as a kilt? Obviously it's not going to hang and swish like heavier fabrics, but IMO that's a bit secondary for a garment like this. The comfort and awesome factor of a kilt combined with the advantages of a modern technical fabric is what I'm shooting for. If, on the other hand, it's so light that all the kiltiness goes out the window then I'd probably save myself the bother of making and testing a sample.
