    Go for the 16 oz. The overall kilt is so much lighter than a tank. My 16 oz box is lighter than my 13 oz 8-yard knife.

    Also, getting into a car seat, it is a lot easier to smooth down the pleats in a box-pleat than knife. Just my experience after having one for 24 hours. They both work the same in the front.

    I think any well made kilt is a thing of real beauty but a box pleat kilt will always move differently than a knife pleat kilt due to its physical construction. Box pleat kilts don't and can't swish like a knife pleat kilt.
