16oz kilts are heavier, so they wrinkle less, are harder wearing, and have a very nice hang and "swish". Did I mention they're hard wearing? 
Hotter in summer, though? Probably, but walking cools you down. I've worn heavy band kilts to summer games without any trouble.
"To the make of a piper go seven years of his own learning, and seven generations before. At the end of his seven years one born to it will stand at the start of knowledge, and leaning a fond ear to the drone he may have parley with old folks of old affairs." - Neil Munro
