I love the Spartan and now that they have a few for $69 each, I may have to get a couple more. I do agree though that what it does lack is that bit of support at the waist to keep it from flying away but the kangaroo pocket in the front makes up for it since I've stashed a lot of stuff in there when hiking.
I've got v1.0 of the spartan, so no kangaroo pocket for me. Are the $69 ones in the scratch and dent?
I live here in the Valley of the Sun - Gateway to Hell, AKA Phoenix, Arizona. I've worn kilts thru 2 of the "burning" seasons here & part of a 3rd. I find an Original UtiliKilt, t-shirt & sandals (& a wide-brimmed hat for extended visits in the solar oven) keeps me as cool as possible when it's 110F (43.3C) or more (but it's a dry heat ). Of course, I wear mine "commando" (as God intended) - it helps to have a breeze between the knees!
Happiness? I'd settle for being less annoyed!!!

I know what you mean, I was in Phoenix the last week-end of July 2005 for my nieces wedding and I wore a 16 oz wool tartan Kilt. Luckily there was an incredible monsoon rain the day of the wedding and it turned out just perfect.
I will be in Phoenix this July again for a reunion of the 1st Infantry Division and I plan on wearing a Kilt to that function also. I haven't seen some of those guys for 36 years. That should be a lot of fun.

I don't know, man. The UtiliKilt has a lot of overlapping material that gets kind of warm, even around here, in the summer.
I vote for the USA Casual. Too thin for winter but great in summer.
