Amerikilt now has a "Hikers" version of their Kilt that is made of 100% cotton like the rest they make, the design was inspired and suggested by hikers. This might be a resolution for you as well. You won't find it on their website yet I don't think but you can write to Michael Butler at sales@amerikilt.com for the info. He is very helpful. I thought of bears suggestion sometime ago also and that will work as well.
