First time out...
So, I wore the Mountain Kilt out of the house for the first time today. I went hiking in the beautiful San Bernardino mountains to give it a trial run, and I must say that it passed with flying colors. This is perhaps the most comfortable day of hiking I've ever had, even in the blazing desert heat of southern CA! (It's nice to have the extra bit of built-in air conditioning ).
Here's a pic of me sporting it on the trail:
I have to say that today I was pretty self-conscious about my comfortable, but non-mainstream fashion choice. I didn't run into anybody on the trails, but I did have to stop and get gas at a station that's right on Colorado Blvd (a busy road here in Pasadena). I know a couple of people noticed, but didn't say anything. This is a good test of one's ability to be able to make and be comfortable with choices that others might not understand. One of those character-building experiences - liberating in so many ways .
Thanks, again, for the all the welcomes I've gotten.
Happy kilting!

i have a mountian kilt from mountian hardware, it is my swimming kilt. i love how fast it dries and how light it is. it is great for relaxing in after a swim. i also like the modesty snap, keeps the hem from floating! my wife says the back is a little transparent when wet. i have never looked. kilt on!

My Mountain Kilt.
I just got a Mountain kilt, after having received my Olive Amerikilt. I must say that there is no comparison. The Amerikilt is a regular kilt, except not being Tartan and no buckles. The MK is almost like a skirt with buckles. I will try it next summer hiking but the AK is my choice, by far, for wandering around in malls and all.
