The Effects of Kilt Yardage on Body Heat Loss

Fascinating. (where did I put that Spock smiley?)
For the next study, you will have to either
a) collect temperature data while wearing p***s, or
b) compare different kilt weights (22 oz, 16 oz, and 13 oz in wool, 10 oz in PV)

TartanHiker,

This is a study in beauty! What a delight to see kilts used in a very nicely laid out scientific study. It makes me wish I taught in a situation which would allow me to play with sensors.

This indeed was a beauty, thanks for taking the time to not only perform this experiment, but to post it in such a concise matter.

I doff my tam to you kind sir!

Cheers,

Marshal Moroni

Well done research. Which journal are you publishing this in?

a) Who cares???

b) You're right....the sky's the limit...that's why I'm glad the NSF is writing the checks for this important research.

Well done TartanHiker. You presented your research techniques, data and conclusions in a very well thought out manner. As Wompet said it would be interesting to see how differing weights of fabric affect the test data. Thanks for sharing your experiment with us.

In reference to a. unfortunantly there are many of us who are required to care about this issue because we are forced by unreasonable people to wear P#*&s at our place of employment. With empirical research such as you have provided for kilts, if the same research were done on P#*&s we would have the data required to argue in favor of the comfort and protection from cold that kilts provide rather than freezing our nads off in those damnable P#*&s
