SWK Standard v. Heavyweight?

[Nick]

I'm glad to hear that the Standard is comperable in quality to the heavyweight. I was concerned that a lighter weight might be more akin to a tablecloth weight kilt, but it sounds like it's much better.

This won't be my first kilt, LC, it'll be my fifth bought kilt, but it will be my first traditionally styled kilt.

I live right on the shores of Lake Superior, so I get my share of wind! It's never been a major problem, never had it blow up, though I've had a few close calls.

I'm considering the Heavyweight, but it may come down to what I can afford. I'll know in at least two months, I'm thinking.

I find my Standard warm enough. It definetly does keep me warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

very cool .. one of my favorite places is the Paradise/Whitefish Point area. thought about moving up that-a-way. some one was raffling off a piece of land over by Grand Marais. i bought a few tickets ... but alas. it wasn't in the cards .....

I e-mailed Jerry to ask him the weight of the SWK standards. He said the are about 10 oz. The wool heavyweights are 16 oz. So the SWK standards are close to the weight of lightweight wool even though they are acrylic. I have found the standards plenty warm in the 30-40 degree range. Of course, if there is a strong wind that brings the windchill factor into the 20s, the standards can feel cold if you remain outside.
