It's going to be a short summer here in the Highlands of Colorado, 8000 feet. What could I buy to go as far into the cold as I can? Read posts from the Alaska guy, so I won't be freezing the watchamacallits off in -40F for the sake of a kilt, but am looking to get the best cold weather kilt for our warmer 10-20F days. Dry desert cold, not wet like Scotland or northeast U.S. where I was spawned, actually feels warmer at 0F than at 32F in the damper climes. Layers in the winter rather than just bulk.

Trinity Kilts has a cold weather convertible utility model with removable winter lining, $125 plus shipping, I could retro a thicker poly fleece lining myself.

Can't spring more than maybe $300, so no 22 ounce wool. What about wearing two of the SW Blackwatch 13 ounce wool $90 kilts, one fitted over the other?

Make a thick poly fleece lining to wear under the SW?

I know y'all will come up with great advice based on your experience.

Thanks ahead of time for your suggestions.
