    The only time I got a "you must be crazy" comment was when I wore my kilt in -30C temps.

    Yup, same here. Wearing a kilt in snowy or cold weather seems to qualify us for the looney bin, in the opinion of most non-kilted people.

    People think I'm crazy anyway, so me wearing Cilts comes across as normal.

    Well, I've done all sorts of crazy things, and I've just happened to have been wearing a kilt for some of them.

    I swang on a rope swing into a pond...in front of a bunch of kids...and my kilt few up. They all cheered. There's no photo of it - my friend took video instead. Here I am about to jump, with my friend in the air before me.

    Otherwise, I've been swimming, snowshoeing, cliff diving, and of course long-distance hiking in a kilt.

    Andrew.

    I was a bar that had two stories a couple of weeks ago for my rugby team's monthly bar night. The event organizer called me over and we started talking for a while until we coudl hear the buzz from below starting to build and that's when we realized that everyone had gathered at the foot of the balcony trying to figure out what I really had going on underneath the kilt....

    ....and it was 18 degrees outside

    Man, you’re rough on your kilts.

    Kold and Kilts

    As I walked across the university campus to work, with the temps this past week almost down to 0 degrees F (-18 or degrees C), I did get a few strange looks, but it seemed only from women. Maybe they knew how it would have felt, had they been wearing a skirt. Regardless, it didn't feel uncomfortable to me, since I had on long wool socks.

    Wouldnt your kilt get rather heavy while swimming??? to have all that fabric swirling around your legs, soaking wet, it would weigh a ton & drag you down a bit, i would think....
    ITS A KILT, G** D*** IT!

    True, but it was either that or skinny-dip at a public beach with lots of kids around. It was hot, and I wanted to swim!
