Advice on a total Knock-Around Kilt

[nh_maclean]

Ok. I spend a lot of time working out (not as much as I'd like) and when it's warmer, on the roads running. I'm even contemplating trying my hand some Athletic events at the Games (Lord help us all!)...

I probably wouldn't workout kilted but I have done some running events kilted in a UK... but would want something more 'traditional' (and lighter) for competing in the Games as I certainly don't want to batter, maim or otherwise screw up any of my good kilts. (And a UK gets heavy by the time 7-8mi. rolls around - so chances are I might do some running in it as well!)

So what's your favorite (and cheap) knock-around kilt that takes a beating but holds up well enough to go from running/hiking/doing weight events to running around town doing erands? I've looked at Sports Kilts, the SWK Economy & Thrifty kilts and USAKilts' Casuals... but are there others out there? Pros/Cons - guys who compete/do athletic events/hike - I want to hear from you!

Things I'm thinking about:
1. holds a good pleat - sewn down pleats a huge plus
2. easy to clean
3. looks good around town
4. light but won't necessarily fly up when someone near me sneezes
5. price
6. are belt loops necessary?
7. how surdy is the velcro closure - would I need a belt?
8. sizing - with doing sport - I'd like some flexibility of adjustment, etc. for ease of movement.

Cheers,
