outdoor kilts

The STILLWATER standard kilts are great and aren't so expensive you worry about them. Then there is always the Utilikilts. Have fun

Stillwater kilts are acrylic, according to their web page, except for the heavyweight Black Watch, which is wool. I don't know what kind of blend they're using, but I can't imagine that acrylic breathes as well as polypropylene. Utilikilts are made of cotton. Don't get it wet when it's cold outside!

My outdoor ensemble:
Summer: 4-yard classic-cut Bear Kilt (poly/viscose), silkweight Patagonia Capiline shirt, SmartWool mini crew socks, and running shoes (New Balance, Montrail, or Saucony).
Winter: 4-yard classic-cut Bear Kilt (poly/viscose), silkweight Patagonia Capiline shirt, a North Face fleece shirt, knee-high gaiters, SmartWool mini crew socks, and running shoes (New Balance, Montrail, or Saucony). If it's very cold out, I have a down jacket for when I stop hiking.

All of this is made of artificial fabrics and blends (the socks are a merino wool blend). Except for the down jacket, all of it can get wet, and I'll still be warm. Warm and wet, but at least in cold weather if I keep moving I won't catch hypothermia. I could wear a wool kilt, but I just like the Bear one. Besides, I'm out to see how much abuse it can take! 2,200 miles and counting, so far....
