How to keep yourself Dry

[EagleJCS]

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Downunder has it right. There's also a less-expensive version around. The Bandspec has snaps for the over-cape to be folded up out of the way for pipers when playing.

Basically any type of Inverness cape or longer overcoat - or even a long rain poncho, see your local camping supplier - would work if you want to protect your kilt from getting wet.

I have walked dead on into a strong headwind in the most torrential downpour imaginable here in winter and I'll tell you, I really should have unrolled the tops of my kilt hose because my knees were cold, but had I done that I'd have nothing to complain about. It is no lie when I tell you that a good heavyweight kilt is exactly the type of garment you'll be glad of. It will not suffer from such a drenching so long as you dry it flat afterward.

Exactly right.
