    I would go with the wool. Note that the higher the yardage, the less effect the rain will have on your kilt. When I wore my 4 yd heavyweight kilt in the rain and then sat on it, the pleats were absolutely ruined, however with my 8yd tank it wasn’t half as bad.

    Yardage is not the factor here. PV v. wool. PV does not easily absorb water, so dries faster, is often coated in teflon, and remember, the P stands for polyester.
