I agree that steady winds are not a problem. It those unexpected gusts that seem to turn your kilt into a parachute. Especially the light weight kilts such as a SportKilt. My Stillwater heavyweights and standards stay down better, but even these get their pleats raized in strong gusts.

I have to walk with a cane, so I only have one hand free. I have simply stopped worrying about it. I don't go regimental and I wear dark briefs. So if the pleats are going to fly up occationally, let them fly. It's all part of wearing a kilt.

I was talking to the neighbor lady on one occasion and had my pleats fly up. We just continued our conversation like nothing had happened. If someone wants to laugh, I have no problem laughing with them.
