I've survived 2 Ottawa winters, kilted. We can get down to -30s C, here - not to mention the windchill factor. I've found that my 8yd 16oz kilts handle the job quite nicely. Granted, I do tend to take the shortest route from A to B, but I did that before 'discovering' kilts, too.

If anyone asks . . and they do, I tell them 'If it's too cold for the kilt, it's too cold to leave the house'.
