I Just Today Went For A 6 Mile Hike In Forest And Feilds Up To Long Island Sound In My 16 Oz 8 Yrd. No Chafing And As Far As Bugs The Swish Of The Kilt Kept The Bugs Off My Legs. The Only Time Had Had A Problem With Bugs Was When I Sat Down On The Beach To Eat Lunch And The Nats And Sand Fles Came Up.
