    I work outdoors and so far I've not had any major exposures. The kilts going to blow around no matter what you do.. If I know in advance that it's going to be windy, I wear a pair of boxers with smilie faces on them, might as well be prepared.

    If I know there are windy conditions to deal with I'll wear my heavyweight kilt. Although it's not immune to wind, the effect is diminished quite a bit. It passed the test quite nicely at Terrapin Point overlooking Niagara Falls on a very windy day.

    Just remember that just because you can feel wind on your bum doesnt mean the kilt flew all the way up. A full scale flashing will be a rare thing, vanishingly rare with the littlest bit of caution.

    Thanks for the advice everyone (especially Riverkilt). I think I have a better idea of what to expect and that maybe I shouldn't worry about it so much.

    Maybe I'll try some hiking in a kilt, that sounds like a good way to get used to it.

    Thumbs up

    Once you get out and about you'll see that there's really nothing to worry about.

    I think riverkilt said it best when he said to just get out there and get used to feeling the breeze. You've never felt anything like it before in trousers, so it's a new experience, and you feel very exposed even if nothing's being exposed. You'll grow to like the feeling of the breeze, and soon will feel overly constrained if you (ever) put on trousers again!

    Andrew.

    It's pretty rare for the kilt to blow up as far as you think it is. Even in fairly strong wind mine are no problem in that regard.
