My 11oz. kilts and 13oz. kilts are all comfortable during the year - though the 13oz. kilts can be a bit warm in the hot summer months. I don't own any 16oz. kilts because I assumed they would be too hot in the summer. Would this hold true? How comfortable are other folks in their 16oz. kilts during the warmer months?
Your in Seattle my friend, and I'm north of you in Bellingham. I know it can get warm here during July & August, but I've never had a problem with my old heavy weight Black Watch.
And I'm currently awaiting a 16oz Modern Mackay from our own Matt Newsome 
Personally I prefer 16oz, but wouldn't wear anything less than 13oz.
