    I live in Florida, where, arguably, its just as hot and humid as Texas. I have two 8yr 16 oz wool kilts, and two 8yrd 16 oz PV kilts. I dont find either of them much warmer than wearing shorts in the summer, but again, i am also not wearing wool hose in the summer with a kilt either. I kinda feel like the wool is a bit cooler than the PV, but maybe cause my wife tells me that the natural fibers "breathe". So now its in my head. I dont know. I was out for dinner this past weekend with the wife and dog, cause we had the dog with us we sat outside. Perfectly comfortable. when we got back to the car, it said that it was 101 (38C).

    As mentioned in previous posts, go for the best kilt you can afford. But there is a WORLD of difference between a PV and real wool kilts. I prefer 8yrd kilts over 5yrd, just cause the way they move. But that would be personal preference. The kilt in the pics came from kilts4less.com. 100% wool. Very happy with it. I picked that one up for @$150USD. There are places where you can get a 100% wool kilt for under $250-300. I am not trying to steer you away from USA Kilts. I will probably use them for my personal tartan kilt when I get enough funds together for that.
