Heavy weight, 5 yard vs Medium weight, 8 yard

[aj555]

Definitely 8 yard. Unless there is snow, having a medium weight won't make that much difference (except being lighter weight). As far as 8vs5 yard. 8 yard looks better, and is traditional. You will almost never make the argument in your head whether you should of gone heavy over medium weight. If you wear a 5 yard kilt, and look at everyone else in 8s. You will regret not getting an 8 for your first one.
