Wool Kilts and Rain

[Robert Lamb]

I am a Lamb and I have never had a shrinking problem from being rained upon, neither have my cousins the sheep, so wear the wool kilt in the rain and be happy.

The kilted bands have marched in many a down-pour, and the kilts have always held up well.
Robert, you are a hoot!

Admittedly, I didn't read every post here, but of the ones I did read, I didn't see anyone mention the insulating properties of wet wool. A lot of survivalists prefer wool because it can be totally saturated with water and still have nearly all of it's insulating properties. Wet wool keeps you nearly as warm as dry wool.

From what I have read... Soaking the wool wind-proofs it.
I have no experience, other than reading the tale.

Not sure what this means. A heavy kilt is already pretty well wind proof unless you mean that a soaking wet kilt is so heavy nothing lifts it.
