Kilt for camping... what to get next.

[Spartan]

Honestly, I wouldn't take my 2 acrylics anywhere near a camp site. The plastic burns- rather ferosiously as evidenced by videos on this board- and wool does not. The acrylic doesn't breathe worth a crap. If you've never tried wool, you can't possibly know the difference in comfort. It's astounding. I almost never wear my acrylics any more, and I probably never will bother with them again. PV and wool are vastly superior.

I have one acrylic that I use for lounging around the house. Otherwise, I prefer my PV, my X-Kilt, and my 16oz wool. As Nighthawk said, if you haven't tried the wool.......

I go with Utilikilts. Prefer the Survival II and the Original for camping. Workman's is a bit too stiff for comfort. Particularly like the Survival II if hiking or backpacking is involved.


Woodland Original


Tan Original


Basil Survival II


Black Survival II

If you're looking for affordable camping kilts, I don't think you can do any better than to make yourself a cotton or poly-cotton x-kilt. I kept close track of the costs when I made mine, and for less than the cost of a UK Original, I bought a used sewing machine, had it serviced, and bought all of the materials for an x-kilt. And now that I own the sewing machine and it's in good working order, each additional x-kilt I make will only cost around $30. You can't beat that price!

P.S. And if I can sew one almost 20 years after my 6th grade home ec class, anyone can do it!
