I agree with your (and MANY others) weight characteristics...

16 to 18 oz = Heavyweight
13 to 14 oz = Mediumweight
10.5 to 12 oz = Lightweight

Also, I agree that $500 + is a HUGE "barrier to entry" into wearing kilts. That's why there are companies like FK, USAK, BK, etc out there... to "fill in the gaps" with a high quality product.

For the record... if PV was available in anything HEAVIER than 11 oz, I'd be ALL OVER IT.
