Great news. I was camping last weekend about 25 miles from you at Curtis Creek. I was hiking kilted when a woman asked if I was wearing a hiking kilt or a dancing kilt. I told her about it and she told me "we need more men in skirts." Since she was smiling and honestly ignorant, I didn't pursue it.
The humidity was down a little here in the foothills.
What about on the Mountain??
Yep, hardly broke a sweat all day, until that last mile up to the summit anyway.
Don, I've never noticed any more problem with bugs than if I were wearing shorts. And everyone around here is used to seeing me kilted. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays we usually do trail work. Crawling through the laurels with a chain saw is no place for a kilt, but I'll often change into one at the end of the day. On Tuesdays and Thursdays we lead public hikes on cleared trails, and I'm always kilted for those.
Anyway, there's more evidence for those who have recently asked about how well kilts perform as outdoor garments. At this point, I'll not hike in anything else unless forced to.
