kilts in the rain.

My fellow biker DyerStraits should get the "wet but warm" award for rain gear. Wow! what a combo of goodies. I have been known to carry a 40 gallon trash can liner, cut a slit in the bottom and sides and use it as a poncho during an "Iron Butt" ride. That choice was due to time, space and weight considerations. An Iron Butt challenge is 1100+ miles of motorcycle endurance riding in a 24 hour period for the (new to two wheels) members.

That is known as using your initiative.

"Improvise, Adapt, Overcome". The Trash Can Liner Poncho is as practical, and widely used, a solution as any--cheap, lightweight, extremely stowable and widely available. I saw it widely used by people on their way to Sturgis a few summers ago. And as it has been previously pointed out on XMTS, various styles of cropped-waist jackets--wool Eisenhower jackets, classic leather motorcycle/racing jackets, denim Levi's Trucker jackets, et. al--are excellent, and good-liking, casual kilted outerwear options.

I guess you could keep a bin bag in a sporran, just in case.
