    Updraft

    I have only been hit with two really bad ones, the first was in a remote part of nothern NY state, while pumping gas on a windy day, the car I was driving and the gas pumps created a wind tunnel, no problem it just pushed the kilt up against me, that is until I opened the car door which made the wind swirl and the kilt to go up to my shoulders. Luckily the wife was inside and no other cars around for miles. The second one was in from of city hall, the air conditioners there are under ground, and we all know what happens when the kick on.

    I can hit the park for disc golf in a good breeze w/o a thought. jjoseph

    Count me in too
    I got introduced to the sport on my recent trip to Hawaii....what fun! I'm hooked! Disc golfing in a kilt is great...working on an apron to clip on my kilt to hold the discs....

    Ooops a little off topic...I've had a gust lift the back end of my leather kilt...but that was a hurricane gust ;)

    By lightweight do you mean things like Sport Kilts?

    I wear my Utilikilts regimental most of the time. Same with my greatkilt when I'm not dancing or performing, and the material in that is much lighter than a tank. And when I get my SWK, it'll probably be the same thing.

    I've never had the kilt go all the way up, though I've had a couple close calls.

    I've never had the under apron budge a bit. I've felt the back rising, but caught it, unlike this chap:

    Never had a kilt lifting myself, but, I'll never forget, driving with my parents through downtown Mankato, MN when I was age 12, a woman was crossing the street in front of our car and I witnessed the wind lift her skirt up to the level of her face! Fortunately for her, she wasn't regimental. It did make quite an impression on me at that age (btw, the skirt was blue). After that, my teenage self always kept a hopeful eye out on windy days, but never did see such an event again.
