I can't offer an opinion on any of the ones you mentioned. Mine is a regular heavy wool traditional from Celtic Crafts in Edinbourgh. But yes,,there is a fair about of material in the wasit area. It's mostly the top end of the pleats. Remeber, we are talking about 8-9 yards of wool,,,pleated down to 30 somthing inches. It has to go somewhere. But It's not that uncomfortable. A kilt should be pulled up much higher than pants are worn,,right up under my ribs,

As to comfort in a hot climate,,,or biggest festival is the Texas Scottish Festival the first weekend in June,,,I have never felt too hot,,from the waist down..the top half of me is another question,,particutaly if I stay out in the sun too much...;-) ;)
