I have three 90km (60mi) and one 260 km (160mi) thru-hikes (north of Sydney) planned before the end of April and I’m toying with the idea of wearing a utility kilt but it feels over-engineered for my needs (perfectly good for other things), and there is more than a few rub points with my backpack. I am pondering whether one of Alan Hebert’s X-Kilts would fit the bill. The idea of making one and using it for these four hikes carries a lot of appeal.

Does anyone have experience with wearing them during multiday treks? Any suggestions on tweaks or hacks to make X-kilts more trek-worthy would be welcome?
