Kilt for Kayaking

**Glasgow girl** · 24th January 13, 07:16 PM

One of my friends who goes Kayaking in North Carolina has noticed that one of his team mates wears a kilt when he changes his clothes (what a great idea!). His team mate is Scottish and he wants one too. Obviously it is not a wool kilt. Does anyone have any idea where to get one that is suitable for outdoor wet pursuits. Sounds just like home!

Welcome, Glasgow girl, from Inverness-shire and British Columbia. I can't quite imagine wearing a kilt whilst kayaking, so I'm not too sure whether you mean changes his clothes before or after. In any case, if you are looking of a Polyviscose (and I think you are) then look to most of our advertisers here.

Check out the REI web site.Look under shorts.They sell a kilt that is great for outdoor use like camping or kayaking.

I may end up doing the MR340 kilted... I was considering using one for after cycling this year too... PV or Acrylic would likely be most suitable due to being washable

Thanks for all the great ideas. Surfing around I found www.kilts-n-stuff.com and they have canvas kilts made out of 100% Denim. Everyone, have a great Burn's Night tomorrow or rather today wherever you are.

A Mountain Hardware elkammando Kilt would work. Or possibly an xkilt or utility style kilt.

Ive canoed in my ElKommando kilts before and find them great for most any outdoor activity. Come spring REI and Mountain Hardwear will put these on the market. It is sort of like bike shorts, you know you get the bike short tan. Same thing happens with the kilt.

A Utilikilt "Mocker" or "Survival" would be perfect. I've worn mine after kayaking, running races, whatever. Makes changing a snap (literally!).

Using a kilt for changing clothes or providing a temporary cover-up is not uncommonly done. Most frequently I have seen this performed by triathlon participants. In my experience a SportKilt works well, being relatively inexpensive, light weight, and easily cleaned. It is also kind of fun to pick up your award wearing a kilt.
