I personaly think 10oz would be a little light in weight but that may be just me. With Kilts so far ( only own 2) I like the feel of heavy weight and the thick material. I have a bear 6.75 yard kilt and one of these days i will get around to getting a heavy weight 8+yard kilt. If all goes well I will be moving back to Colorado and I would love to have a "winter kilt"
