    I don't have a SWK so I can't compare it. I have both a 4-yard and an 8-yard PV kilt, and I wear them through Boston winters. I've worn them in -20F weather. Kilts are warm. I don't understand why there are so many threads over and over about this. Kilts are warm. Wear kilts.

    And if you check past forums, I'm one of the guys that says kilts are fine all year round, but it depends on the kilt. My two wool tartan, my lined PK and my two survival UK's I'll wear any temp (actually I don't wear the PK over 50 ). MY SWK is not suitable (IMHO, but milage may varry) at temps below 40. MY UK Spartan goes in the closet once temps are below 60.

    The 11oz also was a question. 10 oz wool is only used for dancers kilts, and has been pointed out here many times that it is generally unsuitable for a regular kilt (doesn't swing right, wind blows etc.). But PV is not wool, so I wanted someone to contrast, and also with the acrilic (I know what SWK tartan is like, how does it stack up with the PV - lighter, heavier about the same...)

    Thanks
    Adam
