Kilts are over rated!!!!
We have another severe wind storm last night in Vancouver and I went out with friends in a kilt. Needless to say, I had to walk with my hands on my kilts to keep the wind from lifting it. Next time, I am just going to head out in a pair of jeans!!!
Although I could have worn my leather or an over coat......

If you have this problem, even in the stiffest of breezes or wind, your kilt is not made right and/or is of too light of fabric.
The sporran keeps the kilt down in front and the sewn-down fell keeps it down in back.
Sure, your kilt may get blown about, but the boys will stay hidden...

Quite so; but you do have the option of wearing jeans—that's what it means to have a mature attitude to wearing a kilt.

I agree, there are times the kilt is not the best choice. However since I do occasionally need to head out kilted in bad weather I find an inverness does a very nice job.

You know this may be sort-of sadly true. I am a full time kilter, I wear the kilt everyday regardless of the weather.
But I haven't yet thrown away my favorite couple pair of well broken-in jeans, even though I haven't worn them in years. Those jeans are too much like part of the family to be just pitched. I don't wear them anymore, but I can't just throw them out either. I did donate several pairs of other pants, but those jeans?
The same is true for my Hawaiian shirts. But I finally ordered and have a solid black kilt, and I may experiment with that kilt and a hawaiian shirt? The jury is stil out.

Personally, I have found that in high wind, I prefer to have my trench coat or duster on. I don't really know if I would have that problem or not!

Well, I would, but I would not be out in it. When the Navy thinks it is bad enough to move aircraft carriers away, I am not going outside.
Sorry, I didn't see your post, Bear. Welcome back, you've been missed here.
