Calling all hardcore walkers like me! I never let the weather deter me from my daily walking and that's good because it rains a lot where I live! Before Kilt (BK)I never gave it a thought. So one gets soaked, so what? Now, getting caught out in a downpour and far from home in a woolen kilt is something that none of us want for obvious reasons; so what to do? Well I am already moving in the direction of p/v kilts which will help but I need to tell you about something else. Imagine a very long waterproof parka (or anorak) which would stuff easily into a backpack. This thing is called a cagoule and comes to below the knees easily covering the kilt. The only place that I have been able to find one is at Campmor, priced at $39.95. One is on it's way to me and I will let you know about it after consumer testing. By the way, I already know about the piper's capes which serve the same function. Anyone got ideas on this? Thanks, - Longforgan
