I think they are...check out the latest newsletter from them and it tells what's wrong with them...

I live here in the Valley of the Sun - Gateway to Hell, AKA Phoenix, Arizona. I've worn kilts thru 2 of the "burning" seasons here & part of a 3rd. I find an Original UtiliKilt, t-shirt & sandals (& a wide-brimmed hat for extended visits in the solar oven) keeps me as cool as possible when it's 110F (43.3C) or more (but it's a dry heat

). Of course, I wear mine "commando" (as God intended) - it helps to have a breeze between the knees!

I know what you mean, I was in Phoenix the last week-end of July 2005 for my nieces wedding and I wore a 16 oz wool tartan Kilt. Luckily there was an incredible monsoon rain the day of the wedding and it turned out just perfect.
I will be in Phoenix this July again for a reunion of the 1st Infantry Division and I plan on wearing a Kilt to that function also. I haven't seen some of those guys for 36 years. That should be a lot of fun.

I don't know, man. The UtiliKilt has a lot of overlapping material that gets kind of warm, even around here, in the summer.
I vote for the USA Casual. Too thin for winter but great in summer.
