Modesty Snaps, Only In Utilikilts?

[arrogcow]

Found another problem with the modesty snaps at a soccer game... they got so hot in the sun that they were burning my legs!

Stay away from the modesty snaps... not good.

Actually all the UK snaps can get hot. Another factor in deciding to go regimental or not. I was at a beach last week and wrapped a UK around me, the dropped the trunks, it was a bit warm in places I didn't want to be warm.

Also, last year while shooting a TV show, I was squating and balancing the camera on my leg. The camera contacted two different snaps (one waist and one modesty) and I became grounded. It sent a shock through my leg. didn't hurt (12 v) but did startle me. After it happened a few times, I became very good at making sure the camera wasn't in contact with any snaps.

My olive Original has the tendency to fly up in the back (not a good thing at a community college, even though the pres is a Scot) so I sewed a little metal snap on the inside of the inner apron and in the center back pleat. If it gets gusty, I can snap it closed. It tends to pull the inner apron back, so you can hardly tell it's snapped. The only down side is sitting on the little metal snap. I guess I should have put the male side on the apron, not the back. :-o Ah well....

...I personally don't find a need for them, I ride a motorcycle wearing my kilt, I climb ladders, I'm on the fly floor in theatres, I work on my 4x4 in a kilt....

I can't imagine how you can wear a kilt riding a motorcycle. Just from a safety perspective, I would be concerned that the wind would catch the kilt and blow it over my face; making it impossible to see where I was going.

I really would appreciate hearing how you do it!
