    I love my SK's in hot and humid FL they are great you can get them with out the elastic in the back I think just the "works" has it. I also have a USA casual and think it is made better looks better but it is a little warmer. I can't wear my SWK it dosen't fit in the hips.
    Over all I say go with USA or SK depending on what you are going to do in it. If you are close enough to USA drive over and check them out that might be the thing to do.

    I have the exact same problem with my Stillwater Kilts kilts. My hips/legs are very large and muscled. I have to have the hip strap brought in by about an inch. So with that being said, I have three SWKs and I love them other than the aforementioned problem. The acrylic ones are nice and cool, and the wool one is heavy and warm enough for me.

    sport kilts are great for summer heat and the look of a kilt but not with the UK price. I wish i found out about usa kilt before though, i would of spent my money there instead.

    I have just one Sport Kilt, their Hiker model. It is ideal for what I bought it for, exercising in hot weather. Back in the heyday of recreational running one of its gurus (Jim Fixx, maybe?) wrote that running shorts were the closest thing to nudity that was lawful. Nowadays I think that's a SK Hiker worn Regimental.

    But that's all I use the SK for. For other purposes I have an AmeriKilt and three SWKs, and I'm negotiating with my wife for a great kilt. Pray for me

    (I hope she doesn't suspect this yet, but if I manage to make that great kilt work out the next step will be a great kilt in one of "my clan's" tartans, which will cost about 15% of what her sewing machine cost. Women are not the only devious creatures on this earth.)
