One that only touches the leg a little above the back of the knee is much more tolerable when wet.
I didn't know they were shorter. Maybe its just the typical QM stores issue. Too big or too small?! I can tell you from recent experience that a long coat is essential, wearing a sopping wet kilt isn't very nice.
