    I've worn the kilt in -20F (-29C), including standing around outside waiting for the train, and also while snowshoeing. I will freely admit that I was cold. But so was everyone else, no matter what they were wearing. Despite the exposed knees, the kilt isn't any less warm than trousers.

    Obviously this doesn't apply to Arctic-weight clothing. I wouldn't wear anything that exposes any skin if I'm going to get frostbite. Also, beware while wearing the kilt in the snow of reflected sunburns!

    when does cold start?

    I have posted this before but here it goes again!!
    I have a wool blend Sport Kilt that I wear it around the home place.
    To the point.
    When it use to get cold here in Ore. I hitch the Sport Kilt up high on the pot (belly) and then put on one of my out in public kilts over and a little lower and belt it into place.
    All warm and cozy.

    Would that make it a SportSlip?

    warmth to the kilt

    I have found that an old fashioned men's flannel night shirt works well to help me stay warm in my kilt ,I also wear tall winter socks usally a wool blend. I live in Vermont USA and it can get mighty cold here too.
