kilts in the rain.

[Mel1721L]

Hooray, rain at last, not a lot but the first since May. What sort of rain gear goes with a kilt? I seem to remember reading that long coats don't go with kilts, but surely you don't want half a ton of soggy kilt wrapped around you. What's best?

Thanks for that, it's on my wish list now, although I've got one one something like this: http://www.australiantreasures.com/e...ider-coat.html

Absolutely legitimate. Less traditional, but similar to what many Scots often wear today.

I've heard that coat called a "slicker" when I dealt with horses many years ago. I used to have one and it was great. Beware that it may stain the kilt if treated with a waterproofing compound that has a stain/dye infused. If yours has a lining no problem though.

I have one similar from Outback Trading Co. I stay very dry kilted or not.
