I remember one snowstorm where the wind was so strong that only one half of my face and beard had ice crystals on it. The only problem I had with my kilt was that the ice collected along the hem and chaffed at the back of my knee a little bit (only on the windward side). I walked 33 miles that day, through 8" of snow on the ground. I never even considered wearing anything but the kilt.
