    I'm thinking, for me anyway, problem solved. Does multiply boxer brief laundry by two though.

    When you sit down that kilt "heat trap" dumps. When standing and walking you will be fine barring high winds.
    I do use heavier fabric and longer ( just below the knee cap ) kilts in the winter here as there is always some breeze from the mountain pass I live below. Is long as I am moving around and dress warm on top, all is good.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.

    I wear wool kilt in winter, heavy wool hose, I come equipped with enough fur on my legs to keep most parts warm enough, but the naughty bits get cold when there is a good breeze blowing....

    I'd suggest tights but as you're a bloke I don't think you'd enjoy it...

    What about Under Armour leggings? I've heard they're pretty good at keeping the warmth in.

    Mah knees are too bonny to hide with tights. Strewth.

    Actually it wasn't my knees that bothered me, only thighs. The whole thing might be moot once the wool kilt gets here. 8 weeks is an awfully long time, yes, yes it is.

    At any rate, as noted as long as I'm moving around seems to be ok.

    I'm a runner and have several varieties of compression running tights at different lengths and different weights. I have recently worn a 3/4 length heavy weight (thick,warm 4 inches above knee) one under kilt, with tall thick wool socks to great success. It kept everything warm that I don't like to have cold and the cold on my knees actually felt like icing them which I do anyway to reduce the pain and swelling of a lifetime of abuse.
