kilt in the rain?

[KiltedMariner]

All,

Thanks for the replies. Your contributions are so very useful. I wore the kilt today, it was drizzly but not really raining. I was quite comfy. The kilt is hanging up now and appears no worse for wear (pun intended!)

Thanks again!
Richard

It's maybe stating the obvious, but how wet you get in your kilt probably depends on what it's made of.. My normal hill-walking kilt is a 40+ year old wool one which is about 13oz weight. In heavy, driven, rain I've been wet through to the skin on several occasions - though perfectly comfortable (regimental helps there ). My "winter" hill kilt hasn't been tested in that kind of rain yet, but the military spec 18oz material is almost felted on the outside & gives the impression that it will shed rain much better.

Richard,

I'm glad you survived the elements!

Maybe next time you will even sing...

I'm Kilting in the rain
Just Kilting in the rain
My pleats are swingin’
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
I’ve tartan round my waist
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I’ve 16 oz. wool for my ace
I swish and swagger down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just Kilting',
Kilting' in the rain

Pleats swingin’ in the rain
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
I'm happy again!
I'm swingin’ and kiltin’ in the rain
