Non-Kilted activities?

[auld argonian]

Actually, I announced that I would henceforth always wear a kilt when going golfing.

Since then, not one person who heard me say that has called to suggest that we go out.

My friends are nice people but they are total wusses.

You know what friends are? Remember the line attributed to General Sherman: "Grant stuck by me when I was depressed and I stuck by him when he was drunk."? Well, I've stuck by all of these guys when they were depressed and drunk.

I . . . would probably still wear cycling shorts when riding for performance, as the kilt would add too much aerodynamic drag.

Me too. I'll never be a competitive cyclist, but cycling shorts are the most comfortable thing to wear in the saddle.

...and not only on bicycles. I wear cycle shorts under my jeans when riding a motorcycle. Haven't suffered a case of monkey-butt since I bought my first pair.

Umm, I've worn kilts at such resorts James. On arrival, on departure have worn USA Kilts. Have worn Utilikilts to the pool to carry gear in the pockets, and when dining at the resort restaurant as an alternative to a towel to sit on. The UKs can come in handy as a "sun poncho" over the shoulders when the sun gets too much.

And, since its a long drive to the resort for me kilts provide comfort and freedom for the drive.

Always wondered why kiltmakers didn't address that huge market. I recently submitted a short article on the benefits of continued "freedom" outside the resort areas to their national office/newsletter. Haven't heard anything back yet.

Contrary to what one might expect there is a lot of clothing sold to that market.

So far, no where I wouldn't wear kilts...some places I'd be sure to don underwear - like around kids...particularly the little ones that are still crawling about.

The obvious point being is that you are nude! Also contrary to common ideas, nudist camps are really pretty boring and staid affairs.

I wouldn't wear a kilt to the following:

Working out in the gym
swimming
snowboarding
running
renovation projects

For me each of those activities has the proper gear to wear. My kilts have their purpose and their place in my waredrobe, but they don't have exclusivity over my waredrobe. I am a big believer in having th eproper gear for each situation.

I’ve gone swimming in my Sport kilt and same with running.

Come on guys – Golf is a Scottish Game! Of course we should play golf in the kilt!!

As I said, not my cup of tea. Kilts to me are for dressing nicer. When I work out, I want a good pair of runners (trainers), some comfy sport shorts, and a shirt that wicks away sweat.

When I swim it is with children and I spend a lot of time throwing kid, jumping into the pool, or doing laps so dealing with a kilt tangling up on your body doesn't sound fun to me.

Golf, sounds good after all, it's not a sport

You know... I was helping my friend wrap gifts during Christmas, and I had to sit down on the floor. I wasn't quite sure how I should. My friend told me to fan it out in a circle around me with nothing under me. Now that I think about it... I think she was telling me how she would sit on the floor in a skirt. I don't think I want to sit on the floor in a kilt until I know for sure what the "CORRECT" way to do that in a kilt is.

Do I have to turn in my Man Card now?

As long as you didn't sit side saddle on a horse I think you're okay.........................for now

I have been a competitive cyclist (Michigan State Champion)... you don't want to ride in anything by spandex. And that is the only place to wear it. The coolness of spandex diminishes exponentially the farther away from the bike you get

Besides, the bicycle seat is the most uncomfortable seat developed by man. Every have a wad of pleats under you while driving, a little uncomfortable? Try some under your tush (sp?) on a bicycle seat.

Actually I saw someone on tv a few years back bunjee jump in a kilt.
Of course they had the obligatory "black box" covering certain body parts
