Coolmax Kilt Hose?
Anyone ever seen coolmax blended kilt hose? Almost all my regular socks are coolmax.

I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds like something I would be quite interested in. Kilt hose that are made to be cool, rather than keep you warm, yeah?

Coolmax is a polyester fiber with 4 grooves that move moisture by capilary action along their length. I am the guy that goes out in a flannel shirt when everyone else has on a parka, so I am always looking for cooler clothing. I find socks especially benefit from this moisture management capability. I used to wear cotton or wool socks, but now have almost exclusively Coolmax blends. I have hiking, casual, and dress socks in Coolmax blends.
Ordered my first kilt today (Hunting MacLeod Semi-Traditional from USA Kilts) along with 2 pairs of the wool blend kilt hose Rocky sells. Just hoping to find some Coolmax ones.

If you find any, please let me know. I'm the same way- either shorts or a kilt w/o hose keep me going for about 9 months of the year.

Have you checked police supply catalogs? And Welcome from Carroll County.
Still, out, standing in my field.
Never do anything that you would not want to explain to the paramedics.

Just wear coolmax liners under your wool kilt hose and you will get the benefits of both, and it really doesn't make your feet any hotter---just drier.

They may not suit your needs/ desires but soccer socks are nice and tall, and would certainly be available in high tech yarns.
