    I bought a 5yd Poly kilt from Heritage of Scotland (aka Gold Bros) for the same reason (lightweight kilt for summer wear and country walking) and think it is only fair to say that I am absolutely delighted with it. Limited range of tartans, though this one is in Hunting Stewart which appealed to my sense on humour given that this was the military tartan of several Indian regiments! It is crisp, light, and swings OK. What's more it cost £29, which is a LOT less than a Sportkilt would cost.

    See - GB do have their purpose.

    Cheers, Graham.

    I have a very old "original" SportKilt, Hunting Stewart, pleated to the gather, that I have worn canoeing when it was REALLY HOT! It cost a lot less than the hiking kilt. I'm not sure I would pay that much for a lighter weight kilt. I wore my Stillwater Thrifty for a warm weather hike recently and was quite pleased with it for less than half the price. Just my two cents worth.
    BTW, how much fabric is in said kilt?
