My question is this, what kind of kilt do you find the most comfortable in cold weather?
I refer to material (pure worsted wool/ blends etc), weight and perhaps accessories such as woolen kilt hose.
What are you really warm and snug in?
Graham, I've been wearing a kilt all winter (In Canada) In my neck of the woods it's gone down to -20C. Now I have been wearing my denim kilts mostly, Blundtstones and wool ankle socks bare calfs and knees. I found it was a couple of days that I was a bit put out. My wife gave me long underwear for Christmas but I only put them on a couple of times.
I have worn my traditional kilts(I have 3) and they were just dandy with kilt hose. I was comfortable in that. The beauty of a kilt is it's like mitts rather than gloves. The skin to skin contact actually keeps you warm, but if you isolate like gloves or pants you get cold. I haven't had any of the colds or flu like symptons this year that I have had in the past since wearing a kilt.
My leather kilt has also been good in the cold climate too. Also it helps not to consume alcohol as that affects your body temp.
All the best
Robert
