I actually got both a Sportkilt and a USAK Casual (in truth the USAK casual was a moment of opportunity). Actually, I bought the Sportkilt and I was not satisfied with it and went on the hunt to actually satisfy my wish for a comfortable casual that can be worn in public. I simply will NOT wear the Sportkilt outside of my house and fenced in backyard--and honestly, I have not put it on since getting the USAK Casual. Hindsight is 20-20, and from my "glasses" I would have just bought the USAK Casual to begin with. My USAK Casual was not even made to my specifications, but looks great.

I know others have positive things to say about Sportkilt. I am not saying anything bad about them. However, my personal preference is for a heavier feeling kilt and I find that the PV does that better than acrylic. I do not wear my kilt to participate in athletic events, but if I did I would wear the Sportkilt for certain.

I do not have a USAK Semi-trad, but if it's within your budget I suspect you will be even happier with that.

Just my personal opinion and two cents worth.
This mirrors my own experience with both Sport Kilt and USAK. The USAK is the much better value.
