Comfort and Temperature Levels

[GG]

1. What has been the coldest temperature that you have been comfortable wearing a kilt?

About 34F/1C. I was a little bit cold but not about my legs, just my fingers.

In pants I had not been warmer, rather on the contrary.
My theory is that it is very much a question of balancing out things. The more you wear below the belt the more you have to wear above it to feel confortable.

2. Was it windy, sunny, damp?

Slightly windy, misty, going to be sunny (early morning).

3. Aside from the kilt how were you dressed?

Turtleneck sweater, kilt, kilt hose, heavy shoes, belt & buckle, day sporran, wind breaker – nothing else.

4. What type of kilt? (5 yard, wool, etc.)

5 yard PV

5. What were you doing?

Walking

When I hiked the Grand Canyon it was 18F at the top, somewhat warmer further down. I wore a Stillwater Standard kilt, with two pairs of hose (cold weather socks under acrylic/wool blend kilt hose). I had four or five layers of light jackets, thinsulate gloves, and a wool cap. I was perfectly comfortable.
