    In later pics you'll see I have matching knee pads. It's true I'll still have vulnerable areas at the back of my knees which will typicaly be the only exposed flesh. Even in pants it is only protected by a single layer of loose fabric. I'm considering soccer shin pads underneath my hose. The only real danger from behind is my own team and if you knew me, then that's is a real danger .

    Umm, Grant, with all of that camo, how are you ever going to get kilt checked??? No one will be able to find you!

    Seriously, congrats to Robert for building this and to you for being crazy enough to think of it. It is seriously 'manly'!

    All I can say is

    It's been said before, but it bears repeating - Robert is a mad genius.
    Fortunately for the rest of the world, his is a genius bent towards kilt-making.

    I look forward to see this one live sometime.

    Attaching with MOLLE is no sweat at all, less than a minute per pouch really... Oh you were taking about Robert! His sanity is of no concern of mine he got his $3.00/hr, I'm happy . As there was no prototype it pretty much had to be correct first time. It will be interesting what features might make their way on future RKilts although the main purpose of this kilt is for paintball.

    Be it in a crowded bar as you won't see it across a field (nor would you want too).
