At the risk of dragging this topic slightly sideways, I think kilts are beneficial not only for physical health, but for mental health. My observations may be specific to America, or Texas, or Houston, or to non-kilting areas, but I have NEVER been as happy, as carefree, as outgoing, as I have been since I have been kilted.

With the caution noted above, being kilted seems to draw people's eyes and attention---and in a far more positive way than I would have guessed for the south coast of Texas!
