Long Distance Hiking

[ratspike]

No one has mentioned the option of making your own yet. Start with the X Kilt instructions available elsewhere on the forum. Use some milspec camo in light poly/cotton and you'll have a garment that you made yourself that will last for years of hiking.

This. I've sent several kilts out to ultralight hikers and GORUCKers, and the fabric choices were always 50/50 nylon or poly cotton ripstop. It tends to be around 6.5oz, so not terribly heavy, it breathes well and dries pretty quickly. These fabrics tend to be mil-spec, as mentioned, so they're very durable. The feedback I've received on the fabric has been hugely positive for this type of use.
