Usak?

[possingk]

I have three USAK casual's, I wear them in the winter, although usually under a very heavy trench coat while outside. I know HoseHead has a semi-trad and complains at times that it is OK when outside in the winter, but can be too warm while inside during the winter. I think you will be fine. It is not wool, but it is a lot of material none the less. Someday I will get one, first my tank, second my Rocker Freedom Kilt, then a semi-trad.

Speaking of Freedom Kilts Steve you live in BC and don't like cold???

I'll add my endorsement for USAK's. I have 4, 3 casuals and 1 semi-trad. I love them. Just keep the torso warm. I made the mistake of wearing my USAK Ireland's National to Oktoberfest here a few weeks ago with just a short sleeve shirt and sandals. Now the fest was at a park on the water and a cold front moved through that evening. With the wind, a little higher humidity, and the falling temps (only down to 50 or so), I got cold, to the point of shivering. BUT, that was because my torso was losing heat so fast, I could not keep warm. If I had worn a long sleeve shirt, or even had a sweatshirt or such to put on I would have been fine. It wasn't what was under the kilt that was cold!

It doesn't get as cold here as Canada, but if I want to be really warm, it's hard to beat wool.

I love my several USAK PV's and wear them most of the time but there is simply nothing warmer than wool.

I agree about keeping the torso warm - that's essential.
