Utility kilts, ladders, tools and roofs

[Tobus]

I've found the same benefit with my Utilikilt Workman. The cargo pockets are much better at keeping tools in them than their trouser equivalents, mainly because they can swing and sway as I'm working, climbing, or crouching, instead of being fixed to the angle of my leg. I pretty much default to my Utilikilt for projects around the homestead. It's even handier and more comfortable than my overalls.

I gotta say, though, the one place I won't wear it is on the roof. Even though I live in the boonies with no neighbours to giggle at me climbing up and down ladders in a kilt, it just comes down to safety and practicality. The hot Texas sun blazing on a metal roof is a recipe for burnt knees, for starters. And I've torn enough holes in trouser legs on the sharp metal edges of roof panels to know that I'd rather sacrifice a trouser leg than my actual skin on it. So if I'm going up there, I'll go put on trousers.
