A USAKilts Philabeg in PV will blow right up to your neck in the slightest breeze. Front does ok because of the sporran, but, the back... GEEZE. I have made more people scream, hoot, and holler because of accidental exposures. I was standing on a street corner one day, down town, at a busy intersection, waiting for the crosswalk light to change. A big UPS truck, not the standard brown panel trucks, but, a BIG UPS truck that they use to deliver to businesses went flying by, and the resulting burst of wind blew my kilt completely up... And a passing white convertable full of women were exposed.

Entering into the bank I frequently get lifted. There is a breezeway, with double doors, and when both sets are open at the same time, there is a stout gust of wind, which usually causes me a Monroe Moment. (Also one of the funniest comments ever while kilted happened because of this... "Oh my... that man needs a wax job!")

It's my understanding that USAKilts uses an 11 ounce PV. And it's a 4 yard kilt, so that might have some effect. Whatever it is, it's bloody dangerous. Greenville is incredibly hilly, and because of geography, creates wind channels. Downtown especially, with all the tall buildings, hills, and the wind tunnel effect, it is really quite dangerous to a kilt wearer. It doesn't stop me from wearing my kilt every day, but, it causes a lot of other folks around me distress.

I have had one gust of wind so strong that my front aprons ended up in my face, even with my sporran. I was coming out of a movie theatre, and all the hot air from the blacktop, sizzling in the early spring sun, at a scorching 80 something degrees created quite a rush of wind that was so hot and bothered that it too, wanted into the air conditioned theatre and it met me at the door, blowing and billowing around me. My One Eyed Wonder Weasel got to see the light of day... Lots of screaming, along with some hooting and a sexual invitation.

A heavier kilt is needed to prevent these exposures.
