I guess the lads have said it all..it can be a problem on a windy day.

I find cities are worst, streets with tall buildings either side become wind tunnels, the wind blows unnaturally about.
Out in the countryside, or on the beach - not a problem, the wind blows mostly in one direction.

I love the wind, and you will develope certain strategies to cope with it.

  • If I'm standing, watching an event and I'm carrying a bag, I stand casually with my hands behind my back, bag in hand. This keeps the back down and looks natural. (or take a shoulder bag with a long strap and slide it to the back)

  • Walking, keep you hands to the side whenever possible, especially when you feel a gust coming on.

  • Standing next to my motor, talking, I place my back to the car.

  • Up a ladder, use a modesty snap or pin, or else forget it - if anyone wants to look, let them.

  • If modesty is your concern then wear underpants, I always do.
  • If you have a choice of kilts, wear a heavy one on windy days.
  • A sporran takes care of the front, keep something heavy in it.
  • If you kilt has cargo pockets, keep something heavy in them.

On the very odd occasions the kilt is blown up, don't worry, shout "Wha-hay!!" and look like you're having fun.
