After how many months' of pleat-less Mountain Kilting, I today graduated. Got a couple casual kilts in the more traditional style. And the pleats, as I had been advised, do move the air much better.

The breathability of the cotton & poly-cotton fabrics might be a factor, but the swish is the major one. For keeping coooool, they can't be beat.

I'm not yet sure about the 'Ladder Factor' nor the sweep habit (soon to be acquired), but I'll have a tough time putting the nylon wraps back on. Oy vey!
