Someone reading this thread in my presence broke down and made a confession about panty hose. Such use would be likely to cause dismissal if used in the US Army, I imagine, and I would never do it myself- too insecure. Apparently used by cowboys all the time, but for anti-chafing reasons. Still not interested.

But BTW, kilts ARE way warmer than most people, or at least most men, would give them credit for. It's just that as far north as I am, there are too many winter days when I would worry about equipment loss....
