out in the storm, kilted

[ccga3359]

Nothing I enjoy more than when I'm doing my CG duties than being in an aluminum boat in the middle of the lake with thunder and lightening all around. Can't say much about the polyester trousers in the driving rain but they won't let me stand on the foredeck, kilted with pleats in the wind playing out a scene from Titanic! Don't know why, perhaps because I don't have a blue kilt.

What do you mean by a liner? Is that a seperate piece, like a woman's slip?

Last Friday I went to a formal function in full kilt kit. We had weather similar to yours that day (and the next). I decided to wear a 16 oz. acrylic kilt. I had no problem with the water, as a result, but it was not as warm as I would have wished.

No acrylic comparison to real wool, but I usually wear PV made kilts to work - they are chip and holding good, considering that my regular work day may be up to 12-14hrs and 99% of this time I'm seating.

I try not to go out kilted in a storm, no "wind malfunctions." Plus, I have a lightweight kilt, so that makes it worse...

I expected to be 'doing a Marilyn' as the wind was fierce - but the kilt was holding a lot of water in no time and the weight plus the cling factor of wet material meant there was no chance of it lifting.
