Weather Proofing a Kilt!

[unixken]

It (and many other products like it) will almost turn a tissue into a bucket with out changing the feel or look of the material.

This was exactly the demonstration that Amway used to use for their Scotchgard-like product. The sales rep would lay a tissue out flat, spray first one side, then the other. Then, gather the four corners, creating a sort of hobo bag out of the tissue and fill it from a running water faucet, into what amounted to a bag of water.

Another alternative is an Inverness cape in either waterproof polyester or a breathable fabric. That way the breathability of the kilt is maintained for warm dry weather. I am a big fan of layering.
