I'm always surprised every time this topic comes up on this board.

And it comes up quite a bit.

ANY KILT is warm enough to wear in the winter. Four-yard PV, eight-yard wool. Sure, some are warmer than others, just as some trousers are warmer than others (I've seen men wearing light suit trousers, and men wearing flannel-lined Carhartts). I've worn an Original Utilikilt (the lighter fabric kind) - along with traditional kilt hose - in sub-zero Fahrenheit temperatures. I've worn that outfit while just standing around waiting for the train. Sure, it's chilly. Sure, I'm glad to get inside afterwards. But so is everyone else who's wearing trousers.

I've worn a four-yard PV kilt through a snowstorm, while wading through a river at the same time (honest!). I walked 33 miles in a snowstorm wearing the same kilt, and 16 miles through another snowstorm a few weeks later. There were others who I was hiking with who ditched off the trail because they were too cold. I was able to keep hiking, "even" in my kilt.

Last year, I went snowshoeing in -12°F temperatures, in a four-yard PV kilt.

A kilt is no colder than wearing trousers.
