If you are worried about certain 'issues', but still want all the advantages, chop the legs off a pair of pantyhose, and wear that. ;)

You can also wear a "Zardoz" outfit to prevent "problems".

How many BPL'er's actually wear a kilt or are considering wearing one?

OK, THIS IS the BPL forum -- so let's get back on topic.

Why does anyone need a full-on tartan skirt when this covers everything that needs to be covered??

@Matt
I personally have no intention of ever wearing a kilt. However, I do appreciate your clear passion for the subject. And you might just have the calves to pull it off.

I've worn kilts for various functions but never hiking. Personally I think wearing boxer briefs with light nylon shorts or simply going commando with runners shorts work the same or better than wearing a kilt.

At lest for chafing, sweating, and 'monkey butt'.

If you're not Scottish, shallow, and need the attention then a kilt is the way to go. :P

Sense and sensibility on 03/18/2011 13:23:58 MDT Print View

A piece of useless info.

One of the main reasons the kilt was Scotlands ancient dress was the terrain. Due to the wet and boggy terrain, with frequent river crossings, it made more sense. Legs clad in fabric would have been a problem.
Also, he leather 'brogues' worn on the feet had plenty drainage holes in them, before fashion took a hold.

Kilt Wearing Takes Confidence. on 03/18/2011 14:35:23 MDT Print View

"If you're not Scottish, shallow, and need the attention then a kilt is the way to go"
Chad,
I am Scott/Irish, not shallow (just don't care what insecure people like you think), and don't wear a kilt for attention...from males, anyway :) I have to wonder why it is that you keep posting on a kilt thread when you obviously dislike them so much? Try it before you bash it...or don't you have enough confidence?
