The other "boxes" I own are 16oz+, and they are easy to car for, and travel very well. In fact, my Matt Newsome is my favorite road trip kilt.
This rings true for all kilts, I have a heavy Knife pleat which I have sat on a train for 8 hours in, not worrying about the pleats in the slightest and it was fine. On the other hand My SWK heavy which is a very light weight kilt, Sit funny for half an hour and the pleats are a mess.
The hielan' man he wears the kilt, even when it's snowin';
He kens na where the wind comes frae,
But he kens fine where its goin'.
