I have two wool kilts which I love. I have two PV kilts which I love. They each have their own place. I've backpacked 5,000+ miles in one PV kilt, and it's still going strong. I have to get around to sending it back to the kiltmaker so he can frame it and put it on his wall. While I was backpacking (2,000 miles into the hike) people kept commenting on how the pleats were still perfect. They accused me of sneaking an iron into the wilderness.

That said, I really do prefer the feel of a wool kilt. The others have said it: wool is a beautiful material to make a kilt out of. But PV is really great too.
