Double Up Kilt Hose For Warmth
So last Friday went down Glen Canyon of the Colorado River for the last raft trip of the season. KNEW it was gonna be cold - very cold. Easy to layer up with thermal shirts, hoodies, down vest and leather jacket. Easy to don a warm leather RKilt with underkilt and even undershorts for warmth. But what about my legs?? Figured one pair of kilt hose wouldn't be warm enough.
Got the bright idea to first put on a pair of SportKilt type (soccer sox) hose then put a pair of Lewis kilt hose over them.
Reporting back it worked like a charm - Even my knees stayed warm. Temps were 30 to 36 degrees F without the wind, worse in the wind.
So, an easy way to keep extra warm on cold days is wear soccer sox or soccer sox type kilt hose under your regular kilt hose.
