    The Survival has much more material, hence a bit warmer in the summer, but the pockets more than make up for the warmth.

    The tan and black survival material is a bit softer than the standards I have. It's says 100% cotton on the label.

    The standard is a 65/35 poly/cotton blend and a bit stiffer.

    Hope this helps.

    That's exactly the type of stuff I want to know. Thank you. I'm trying to determine if the survival kilt is worth the extra money or not.

    The Survival's material is a bit thicker, too. I like them both, but the original just feels lighter to me. The survival feels more heavy-duty (not as much as the workman's, though). The survival does have more material and is less resistant to wind.
