I'll throw my vote the other way and say that my box pleated kilt does much better in the wind.

But of course I am sort of comparing apples to oranges here as my box pleated kilt is 18 oz MOD material and my highest yardage kilt is made with 13oz cloth.

All said though whenever I'm out running about and doing sports activities or when I anticipate a good deal of wind, I reach in my closet for my trusty Black Watch (first wool kilt I ever made) and brave the elements with little fear of exposure.

(BTW even though I now own a "tank" 16oz 8 yard handstitched I still prefer the box pleats in the wind.)
