    hiking / hill-walking

    Comrades,

    This question is addressed to those folks who go hill-walking / hiking / go on extended walks while kilted. For these types of activities, do you do anything different than wear your sporran in front, as is conventional?

    Regards,
    Jonathan

    I slide mine around to the side if I need to.

    It depends and if I have to, sometimes I just tighten up the sporran strap a couple of holes and sometimes(less often probably) I move the sporran to the side.

    Jock,

    Thanks! So, would that mean that the sporran rides up higher on your body?

    Exactly so. Out on the hill is not often the place for sartorial elegance, so there is really little reason to even wear a sporran. Your back pack, or your pockets, including "poachers pockets" in your outer layer will carry much more than a sporran.

    It makes sense and is much more comfortable!

    I think that is why, in the old paintings, they are wearing their sporrans to the side.
