Any feedback on the 5.11 TDK?
As my utility kilt got lost in the post and I got a full refund, I decided to get a 5.11 TDK. As it will be a couple of weeks before I actually get it as it's been delivered to my wife in the UK, I was wondering what 5.11 TDK owners thought of it and what sporran if any you use with it?

I have had one for over a year. Love it for just knocking around the house or hiking. Also like it when I go out photo shooting. Don't need a sporran because of all the pockets. As for cleaning a 5.11 TDK - wash, dry and hang - good to go!

I think you'll be very happy with your TDK. I've not heard anything but raves from guys who have them, they're well designed, and look good. A big step up from the cheap Pakistani kilts for sure.

Aaaww Mel - you aren't having much luck with your kilt purchases - I hope that the latest one turns out well, when it is finally in your hands and girding the loins.
I have a 'camouflage' kilt in cotton printed DPM, which I like a lot - it was one of my first and it is now mended in a couple of places after encounters with vegetation on the heath - kilts are just too addictive...

No I had to send my Powell of Wales back. I'm waiting to see what they are going to do about it. I'm not too bothered about the utility kilt. I'm not keen on the camo kilts though.

Good, all positive. Shooting with a gun or a camera?

As stated before, I love my 5.11TDK's.
I've recently, started going without a sporran, not that I needed it with all the pockets. Just that I felt more comfortable wearing it, you more kilt-like than skirt-like.
The sporran that I wore with it was the "What Price Glory" military day sporran.
You do realize Mel, 5.11 is not selling these kilts currently and
You will have to find a used one. Fingers crossed that 5.11 will offer them again in April.

I already have it. Well my wife has it. I got it from Military 1st in the UK. No problems. I just have to wait until she comes home to Spain. I have one of Stillwaters night stalker sporrans I think it is. The black nylon zip up one which will go well with it. I didn't fancy having to tie 5.11's 6.6 pack on with para cord or something. Too much trouble. I, m not familiar with your sporran, I'll google it later.

I own 3 TDKs and usually dispense with a sporran, but the TDK does have a couple of handily placed D-rings which would serve as a fine attachment point. I'd suggest a couple of mini-carabiners attached to the 6.6 would be preferable to tying on with paracord.

I wear a SWK "nightstalker" nylon sporran with my 5.11 TDK's. It's kind of redundant given all of the pockets but I like to at least make a nod to the tradition and frankly I prefer the look. I made a strap for mine from a narrow piece of nylon webbing and two small clips that attached right to the "D" rings on the TDK.
