It has been mentioned on XMarks before -- search for Mountain Hardwear Hiking Kilt.

It's been around for a few years, at least 4 I think. Mountain Hardwear only manufacture it once a year, at the beginning of the hiking season. It seems by early summer each year most sizes have sold out.

Until this year it was sold as explicitly "unisex". Given the growth in sales to men, it is now sold in two versions -- male and female. Having said that, I am not aware of any difference between the two apart from the size label -- the male version says 'Men's Large', etc.

It's clearly not a "kilt" in the traditional sense -- it's really a men's wrap skirt. Having said that, a number of XMarks members have made positive reports of this product -- both for hiking, but also for lounging (no pleats for destroy).
