Seems logical to me...

-------M,

Cute video, but after viewing it I have to point out that there are a few items missing from that cat.

Are you talking about going those extremes in an effort to go SUL?

Ouch! ;-)

Party On,

Newton

Thank you for the info Mike :-)


I tried to buy the MH kilt in different shops (mountain hardwear shop & altrec) but they don´t ship the kilt overseas

Someone knows a shop that send this kilt to europe ?????

I've been kilted on the trail for about four months now. I have a pair of Stillwater Thrifty Kilts, one in the "Irish National Tartan" (never mind that the Irish never actually had a tartan; mom's matrilineal line was of Irish extraction) and one (my anniversary gift this year; I think maybe Mrs. FLRider is trying to say something) in the "Black Watch" tartan. I like both, but the Black Watch is a lot less loud of a pattern (I wanted something a little more subdued but am not Scottish as far as I know, so the Black Watch was a good compromise).

I have to say, they definitely help with ventilation. I still wear compression shorts underwear underneath the kilt while hiking in order to avoid chafing, but the amount of airflow over a pair of regular running shorts is surprising. Also, due to the fact that they don't have to touch your body as much as shorts, they can be made of acrylic fabric. That dries much more quickly than any other piece of clothing I own, including my "quick dry" polyester athletic tees.

So far, I'm a fan.

I am kind of puzzled when you say, "I still wear compression shorts underwear underneath the kilt while hiking in order to avoid chafing, but the amount of airflow over a pair of regular running shorts is surprising"

My observation is that running shorts allow far more ventilation than compression shorts even with nothing over them. Perhaps we wear substantially different running shorts? A pair of Nike DriFit or similar running shorts with a 5" (or shorter) inseam are pretty close to being naked when it comes to ventilation.

I wear pretty much bog-standard Starter athletic shorts (7.5" inseam; they drape at the knee) when I'm not in the kilt. They still require compression boxer/briefs when worn to avoid chafing, so the increase in airflow with a kilt is significant when temperatures are above 80 F. Especially so when it's humid.

My reason for this is that I find a fresh set of undies every day holds down certain...hygene issues...associated with hot-weather hiking. I try to wash my day's pair before bed and hang it off of my tarp's ridgeline to dry as much as possible overnight before packing up in the morning.
