    It depends on the individual. Wool is a breathable fabric, so it should be alright in almost any climate. I wear a heavyweight kilt even when the summers sometimes reach 40 or more degrees (Celsius). It doesn't bother me at all but others will claim they sweat profusely. You won't know until you try.

    I have found that here in Florida the best thing I can do is to forgo wearing kilt hose. In gets rather hot and humid here. I've become a big fan of wearing sandals when it's hot out. I have a pair that is closed toed and resembles Roman Sandals. Also I would like to add, going barefoot would have been more preferred by Highland Scots (historically). Especially the lack of use of Cadadh (I hope I spelled it right).
