"Best" kilt for a Highland Games competitor?

HeathBar,

I figured that acrylic would be uncomfortable. I am, however, surprised that Poly Viscose is that much more comfortable since it is also a synthetic.


Detroitpete,

I am sure they get quite messy. I am just trying to make sure I know which kilts are the "good" out of the multitude of "cheap" kilts on the market.


Alan H,

A Sport Kilt in my size would cost the same, if not more, than a USA Kilt so it would be pretty much a toss up between those two. I have a Stillwater Thrifty Kilt that I just purchased so I will be seeing how that feels after wearing it around for a while.
I did not know that the pleating for Sport Kilts was so dodgy.
In regards to tartans, if I had to choose a Sport Kilt I would probably go with the Linda Clifford/John Yestrebsky law enforcement tartan instead of a tartan that I am blood related to. For a USA Kilt I would probably choose the Gordon Modern.
