Occured to me that the only two times I recall the wind causing exposure were when I was wearing Utilikilts.
Once from an unexpected grate in the sidewalk, the blast blew the entire kilt up. Entire hem of the kilt was over my head. But like Bradley and Marilyn could happen with any kilt.
Other time was rafting the river, standing in the bow attempting to dry the wet UK survival I'd been wading in. The canyon winds did a snake dance on me and flipped the back high just as a guy in the back of the raft was taking a scenic picture. He got a scenic picture all right!
Worse, it was an AA raft trip and I still haven't heard the end of it. He gave me a copy of the pic and it ain't pretty what's under there. Lost the pic in my last hard drive crash. No matter, no way I could post it here.
And I certainly agree with Matt, the only way to get used to kilts in the wind is to wear kilts in the wind and get used to it.
But come on guys...there have to be more kilts in the wind pics out there...Ain't nothing prettier than pleats dancing in the wind...
