It always amazes me that so many of the members here claim they wear a kilt over pants for comfort reasons yet there are always plenty of people chiming in about their troubles with chafing.

While I haven't had much problem with chafing I do take precautions agains it. For light activity when I think I will be ward (so therefore sweat) I find good old solid antiperspirant works just fine. If I am gong to do something athletic I do what athletes do - wear something underneath the kilt. Any lube of antiperspirant is only so good and if you are 5 miles from base on a hike and it starts to hurt down there...well you know what I mean.

By the way it is all very nice to say that they didn't worry about a little chafing back in WWI but I guarantee none of them would be described as even slightly overweight.
