Oddly, I came across a thread on a naturist forum the other day in which the benefits of wearing kilts was being argued. I could not agree more!

I know some folks that live and work at a large 'clothing-optional resort' northwest of Houston, sportkilts are pretty popular there.

Might show more than you wish to your belay person below...

long ago, in a life very far away... I did second story framing work on the land swallowing housing tracts of Southern California... one of the first tricks I learned was wearing my shorts 'commando'... it kept the job superintendents and foremen from spending a lot of time underneath you inspecting your work... if only they'd had Utilikilts back in the 70's...

BrewerPaul, wouldnt want to distract the belayer...
Depending on your attitude towards getting a friendly "hello" sniff. The dog park is kilt optional

I does give me pause about entering a field with bulls. The kilt does look a lot like a capote (cape) to the bulls.....

For the record, bulls are color blind. They can't tell red from any other color.

Hard to say how the bull sees the kilt, but I'm willing to bet that once a bull is pissed off, he really doesn't need any other motivation ...

Very true on the PO'ed - wasn't sure on the color perception but a waggling kilt and a shaking capote look like twins. I wonder if the shaking is seen as a challenge. Sure gets their attention, notice the kilted guy is in a group of non kilted and who "gets it"

I have it on good authority that beasts of this nature are in fact color blind. A very close friend is a vet up in cow country Wisconsin. He's mentioned this fact to me in passing. Specifically in regard to bull fights one lager soaked evening.

I would make the point that kilted dude is also the one closest in front. First come first serve. He also may have been jumping up and down and waving his arms just prior to the bovine assisted gymnastics, who knows. Remember, you don't have to be the fastest gazelle, just have to be faster than the slowest gazelle ..

Maybe he thought "tank" means armored
Barbed wire doesnt even slow down a mad bull.
Kind of looks like this is during the running of the bulls, not in the arena. Every one has running shoes on. The curbing makes me wonder though.

Must have been the flat cap then.
