    On the older Utilikilts ( I haven't seen any switchbacks ), to end the inner apron from tucking in between the legs I use iron-on hemming tape to fuse the inner apron and the reinforcing cloth on the back side for the snaps together. This stiffens that area so that it doesn't curl as easily. For stubborn aprons, I add a big trimmed to fit twill or denim iron on patch over that same area.

    I haven't had flashing issues sitting or in high winds ( 60 MPH gusts are not uncommon here ) with Utilikilts nor 5.11 TDKs ( lower snap snapped ). I have had partial Marilyns on the back sides of USA kilts PV Casuals in high winds when around structures that make turbulence. The sporran keeps all issues at bay at the aprons.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.
