While I'm sure the ventilation will be helpful for all, the colder the better.

2) Durability/Maintenance - I need something that will last, and which will require as little time and effort as possible. If it can't take some real abuse, or will need lots of ironing etc. then I will not be happy.

3) The Butt - Quite frankly, my backside is a thing of beauty. It's glorious really. In all honesty, it's a national treasure. As such, I need a kilt which looks good on the backside, neither exaggerating or completely obscuring it.


Those are the big issues I need help with, but any other comments or opinions are entirely welcome.

well... all of the kilts you listed should provide you with better cooling than pants or shorts.. for durability....you can't beat a workmans model... those things are tough... for the 3rd item... sorry... but unless you have a custom made kilt, then none are going to showcase yer backside. it's all in the taper... a custom made kilt will be tapered to fit you...the fell would be to fit you.... a Utilikilt is at a set fell and taper...one that'll work for most of the customers...

don't get me wrong.... I love my Utilikilts...
