Kilt Do's and Don'ts

[ozone]

If I might add something about the climbing: A proper climbing harness requires the use of leg loops....i see none there. So, if the individual were to fall, they would likely have the harness ride up and break a few ribs. So, not only is this a dont....it's also dangerous.

EDIT: the strap hanging down is a stabilizing strap for the aforementioned absent leg loops....I still stand by that pic as being a kilt dont and climbing dont.

Kinda looks to me like said climber has a crotch strap running fore and aft. That might hurt some in a fall.

Agreed! It sets a bad example. (no matter how nice her legs are!)
I think this might be one of those "staged" shots; just inches off the ground.
Besides it's a good idea to climb in p*nts - Rock Rash

Only way that it could be safe could be by using a chest harness, rare but available and used by many steeplejacks.

I've used a chest harness when climbing in a kilt before and it is actually quite comfortable.
That said, a regular hip and leg harness is always the safest thing.

That is nice to hear.

Can you believe how long this thread has been going?

Just wondering, I study Irish Stick Fighting and partake in some pugilism as well, and sometimes We end up on the ground. So if I fight in my kilt are Tennis Shoes OK? (I will also be wearing Muay Thai shorts under the kilt.)

I can't wait hopefully the mail will bring me a box today.

I dont think the leg hoops are absent, it looks like a propper harness, but there is that much fabric in the kilt that most of it hangs free and obscures the harness.
I'm not sure if its a kilt do or kilt dont, but it is a climbing do!
