    Well done TartanHiker. You presented your research techniques, data and conclusions in a very well thought out manner. As Wompet said it would be interesting to see how differing weights of fabric affect the test data. Thanks for sharing your experiment with us.

    In reference to a. unfortunantly there are many of us who are required to care about this issue because we are forced by unreasonable people to wear P#*&s at our place of employment. With empirical research such as you have provided for kilts, if the same research were done on P#*&s we would have the data required to argue in favor of the comfort and protection from cold that kilts provide rather than freezing our nads off in those damnable P#*&s
