Kilting in the cold

[Owl of Oban]

Wool kilt hose are necessary as the temperature approaches freezing. I generally wear them below 50°F, but not always. When I hike in the cold I'll wear knee-high gaiters to keep snow out, and accomplish the same as kilt hose. If I'm backpacking, I'll just wear the gaiters; if I'm only out on a day hike I might wear kilt hose beneath the gaiters.

Get inside by a warm fire, you nut!

Many thanks Andrew for the gaiter link. I'd been needing to find a pair for this winter and here you've done all the work for me!
Planning on doing a lot of snowshoeing and cross-country this winter and these along with my 8yd-16oz tank should just do the trick. :-D

And yes, nothing better than letting the snow melt off your beard by a roaring fire, a little of the Oban single malt swirling about in a glass.

Cheers!
