Several members here swear by Kingussie pleats for hiking and outdoor use since the pleats facing rearward are less prone to catching on passing shrubs and briars.
Actually, what we're talking about are reverse Kinguisse pleated kilts, such as UKs, RKilts, and our various homemades. It's just that the "reverse" gets dropped most to the time. In a true Kinguisse, all the pleats are facing forward (take a look at the pictures).
