I wanted to travel with my SWK standard, but once I got past the Buffalo airport, I thought it would be too hot for my Florida/Caribbean travels. I think I was right. I've mostly, been wearing my SK hiker which is a microfibre. It's almost, too light. With the strong ocean breezes, you have to make sure you're covered, and your sporran is doing the hold-down-the-front-of-the-kilt thing. I think once, I felt as if the kilt was blowing too high at the back, but probably not. I walked back from some friends' hotel last night with temperatures in upper 70s, with a nice ocean breeze, and the hiker felt wonderful.

The poly/vis material of the SKs, is quite soft, and feels nice against your body. It washes well; hang dry. So far, they've kept their pleats, well. It would be my recommendation for a warm/hot weather kilt. I do have a cotton/poly SK, but left it at home, 'cause it wrinkles more then the poly/vis kilts. I'll board the cruise tomorrow, wearing my SK black Stewart, and leave my Loch Ness for "dressing up" on the ship. I haven't worn my hose yet. I've preferred to wear a T shirt or less, kilt and sandals. I'll save the hose for AC areas on the ship.
