Puffer,

I live in Michigan where fall begins...oh..about the end of August and the winter seems to last until June. I wear kilts as often as I like, I hike all year long and am a highland athlete who competes and practices in all weather conditions. I just said all that so when I talk about wearing kilts in weird weather--I'm not just blowing smoke.

I find that unless its colder than 30 degrees with a nasty wind, just my normal 'standard weight' kilts do fine. I tend to beef up the hose I wear and layer my upper body--nice wool sweater on the outer layer.

When it gets downright mean-spirited cold--say in the 20's and lower and I'm outside being active (not a dress occasion) I wear either new microfiber long johns, or the good old stand by cotton waffle weave kind--but I cut them off above the knee--essesntially making long undershorts with them.

I actually find with my standard weight or heavier kilts, even if I'm just out and about and not being TOO active--this is fine. Anymore and I'd actually get overheated I think
