I just got back from the Victoria Highland Games and it was gusty at times. I had my 16 Oz wool kilt and had not too many problems. I noticed that some of the people who wore the lighter fabric kilts did have a few moments but if anyone noticed they were only smiling.
My second kilt will be a lighter fabric after I talked to a fellow from" Freedom Kilts" as they are considerably less expensive. The material appears to wear well and is able to be washed a number of times without loosing the crisp folds. It is a great alternative.
I love the feel of the 16 Oz wool kilt as it feels so right .
In any event...enjoy your kilts... it is the greatest clothing article a man can wear.
Glad you Lasses are so understanding.
