Life has been a little hectic this year, and my lightweight kilts were never retrieved from the rail at the back of the sewing room, so I have been wearing kits which weigh in at about 4lb all through the summer, except for half a day when I put on shorts and found they were hotter than the kilts.

We have had sun, we had plum rains - and I think that I was actually more comfortable in the heavier kilts than I would have been in the lighter ones. Certainly when walking in the rain the heavier kilts did not cling but swung freely, diverting the water away from my feet.
