I wear a 4 yard "hillwalker" from Hector Russell in Edinburgh for everyday wear ( indoor and outdoor) but it does not swing very well. It is VERY light in a wind !

I have 4 6-yarders, some tartan some plain colours, which are a good compromise - they swing well and are not too light. Good in the summer.

I have walked the West Highland Way in the hillwalker, and it was perfect. I have done part of the Way in winter in the hillwalker, and did not get cold.
