I think this a subjective experience. I live in a part of California where temps reach over 100F for many days throughout the summer. For me, there is no discernable comfort difference between an 8 yard 16 oz and 8 yard 13oz kilt. For me, the traditional kilt hose is what causes the most heat related discomfort. But again, that is my subjective experience.

If all else is equal (color, quality, availability) I always choose 16oz over 13oz.
