Wearing a kilt in winter

[Taskr]

I wear my wool kilt in winter often, even in the -20C range. My knees have been fine.

I grew up in Central Ontario where temperatures of -20F (-30C) were pretty common. It was long enough ago that the girls had to wear skirts to school. I don't remember hearing of any frozen knees. As others have said keep your head and core warm and your body will look after the extremities. I remember learning early if your hands or feet are cold put on a hat.

I echo past contributor's comments about a 8-yard-style, 16 oz wool kilt. Further, tall boots and/or tall wool socks are very helpful as well as keeping my core, head, hands, feet warm. I also wear thigh-length merino wool boxer briefs. If temperatures creep below -10C, then I'll wear merino wool leggings and scrap the boxer briefs.
