Anne's right! Nothing is more important than what you wear UNDER the kilt when hiking - try going commando hiking and find out why. What's the point in wearing underwear when you want to hike free? A kilt liner - or underkilt -is the answer - your manhood is protected from repeat abrasion and you're still free.

I remain baffled that men who proudly wear the kilt suddenly get all freakie about wearing a cotton slip/kiltliner/underkilt to protect the kilt from them and when hiking to protect them from abrasion from the kilt. How can we be so open about the kilt and so closed minded about the common sense of an underkilt/kiltliner/slip.

I also remain amazed that kilt vendors don't offer underkilts/kiltliners/cotton slips for sale as a matter of course. I bought three J'Dez Underkilts before they seemed to have gone out of businees and that purchase remains one of the most common sense purchases I ever made. All the benefits of underwear without loosing the FREEDOM.

Any kilt is a good hiking kilt. I also agree that the Utilikilts Survivor II is a great kilt for hiking. The pockets allow you to store water and other heavy goods low on your body.


What is the big deal about a man wearing a kilt liner to protect his kilt from himself or himself from his kilt when hiking? Also adds one more layer of modesty when seated.


Basil Utilikilts Survival II on the long trek down the Grand Canyon to the Havasupai reservation. You can't see the abrasion saving kilt liner - but its there - protecting ME while still allowing FREEDOM that's not possible with regular underwear.
