kilt hose for hot days

[cavscout]

The best socks I wore in the military year round were the wool boot socks. My feet were going to be hot no matter what I wore, but the wool sock simply performed and held up better over the long run.

My favorite kilt hose are Gaelic Themes Piper Hose which are 70% wool and 30% nylon. They are great here in the foothills of GA. The Cotton hose I've worn from Hamilton Dry Goods are great options also considering they are $8 vs. the $30 - $50 for Pipers Hose. All the negatives to the cotton are true but they are able to be overcome with footy socks and garters to hold them up. For a casual, economical sock, cotton can serve fine but if the means are there, go for the wool hose.

For the Texas heat and humidity, my favorite lighter weight hose are from the W.Brewin company, they are inexpensive as well.

It's all good information to consider.

I know I have been to highland games in the 90's and 100 degree heat in the Northwest. While I have felt the heat, those in their regalia seem unaffected. Or is that just the stoic Scot gene showing itself?

And, Galician? re: "Given your handle here, I hope that I don't offend by..." No offense taken. It's all good.

I've been to the games in the southeast when it was just downright HOT. The thing about wool hose is not so much the leg part, but the foot is where all the heat is. At least in my observations. I'm sure the type of shoe plays a role in that.
