Kilt for Kayaking

[BBNC]

One of my friends who goes Kayaking in North Carolina has noticed that one of his team mates wears a kilt when he changes his clothes (what a great idea!). His team mate is Scottish and he wants one too. Obviously it is not a wool kilt. Does anyone have any idea where to get one that is suitable for outdoor wet pursuits. Sounds just like home!

A synthetic kilt will dry quickly when it gets wet. Cotton could lead to hypothermia in all but the hottest weather.

The original post was referring to changing under the kilt. As I don't change it is moot to me. My kayak has a long cockpit enabling me to sweep pleats or even bring the dog along. Not a sea going rig by any means. The pleats are so flat on the Mtn. Hardware kilt that its never been uncomfortable sitting on them. That or I have a tough hide.

Just to clarify my last post. This is what we in the UK call a canoe. Depending one the shape of the prow and stern it is also called a 'Canadian'.



Where as this is what we call a kayak.



The main difference being the enclosed deck. This one has a reasonably large cockpit opening, but even still, I cannot imagine how pleat sweeping can take place.

The canoe in the first picture gives all the room in the world to adjust one's pleats.

This is my first attempt at putting a photo on this site. Hope for the best.

Ok, the quality isn't the best as I just snapped a shot of the computer screen with my phone, which I'm posting from. Now you can see how much room is in my fishing kayak.

That was so easy and fun here's the original.

I believe the pictures of the canoe and the kayak that Chas posted are the typical for each watercraft. It is what I envisioned for each too.

I would agree with the comments on the SportKilt. They are comfortable, washable, and relatively inexpensive. I have one, and just ordered a second. They are my highland games throwing kilts, and they serve their purpose for outdoor activity kilts.

We use the same designation in the U.S. The kayak is propelled with a double ended paddle.
