I've actually been hoping to get caught in the rain while wearing my one wool kilt...after I got soaked in the other one, it sort of softened up and fit a bit better...mind you, I wore it until it dried.

All the talk of wool and warmth reminds me of a book on camping that I read a few years ago wherein the author, who we refer to as crabby-old-know-it-all-guy-from-Minnesota, proclaims blue jeans as "The Trousers Of Death" and tells you that if you're not wearing wool pants out there in the outback, you will most certainly freeze to death and die of exposure. Of course, this old coot is still wearing the first pair of woolen trousers that he got after his return from the Great War (the first one, most likely) and, dammit, they're still as good today as they were back then (and women knew their place back then, too...and the young people were respectful...and a beer was a nickel). Please, nobody tell this guy about polar-tech or gortex...

This is why I KNEW that kilts were going to be a step up in the staying warm category. Just dry it naturally as Mr. MacMillan recommended up above.

Best
