It isn't THAT cold yet...hang in there. I'd also note that the Stillwater standards are pretty warm...I'm sure that the wool is nicer but the standards are quite all right.

I'm looking at Stillwater because of their affordability.. If you know anyone else selling comparable kilts at a comparable price, please let me know...
You think the standards will suit me okay in temperatures down into the '30s?
BTW, I've been checking their stock for at least 5 or 6 weeks and they have only had the green heavyweight in my size during that time..

Whats your budget? What Price Glory and E-Bay are two sources for the heavy (and warm) militery kilts. And then theres always the Great Kilt. I have several of the militery kilts and Stillwaters heavyweights. Any of them are good choices, though the militery kilts ARE a lot warmer than the Stillwaters.

as you requested: $50 Ebay tank review

As for the "upgrades" I suggest in the above review, I believe O'Neille maybe able to take care of them. I'm sending both of my Ebay tanks to him for the upgrades. I'll let everyone know how it goes.
