Waterproofing a Contemporary/Modern Kilt

[HuDonald]

Some good ideas here!

Have you tried the Elkommando hiking kilt from Mountain Hardwear? Not a traditional kilt by any means, but it's made with quick drying technical fabric that hiking pants are usually made of. I have one and love it, and can attest to its quick drying abilities. It's also very comfortable. I generally like stuff by Mountain Hardwear, and this is one very good example.

REI used to sell it seasonally, but I've been seeing it on their website consistently now... so check them out. They used to only make them in a medium-dark brown color called "Otter", but is now also available in a mid-grey called "Shark".

I might just get myself an extra one!

Other than that, I've been thinking about using some 3M ScotchGuard as well...

Definitely under consideration, especially with the new color option. I posted a question about Elkommando kilt sizing recently (but before the new color was publicized) and got the advice I needed, but didn't order yet. The price seems very reasonable, too.
