Canada would no doubt be very similar in climate to Norway (30c+ in summer -30 or below in winter). What would you recommend.
Here in Vancouver the weather is milder than the rest of Canada. We get down to freezing temps in the winter but not much colder. In the summer we get thirty degrees on a rare day. Usually mid twenties.

I still find I pick my kilts for the weather because it can, (like today), get a bit muggy.

I have gone through a winter with just a 4 yard kilt but I now have heavier kilts, so I don't have to put myself through that. Summer in a heavy kilt is worse for me than winter in a light kilt.

I think two kilts is an absolute minimum if you wear kilts every day. You'll need more if you plan to attend formal functions and want to always be properly dressed. (Hamish has said he has a kilt for any occasion.) While I don't feel the need to be that prepared, I have several to choose from, including two green Irish kilts of different weights.

My 6 yard Cape Breton and my 8 yard green Irish are the two I like the best. We'll see how I like the formal cut and the wool classic cut I'll make after that.
