    went you wear boxers it's always gonna be hotter. the boxers trap all the heat your kilt would vent on hot days.

    the best is to go regimental.
    you can workup to it. start at the house and then go out a bit at a time till your confidence is there.

    i have 2 sport kilts that i wear for jogging and just lounging about. they're really light weight.

    Don't think there's a fabric much lighter than the UK Original's poly/cotton. Would focus on what's best for you underneath.

    I use the lightweight tartan boxers sold in three packs at big box stores, believe they're a poly cotton blend too.

    My SportKilt is my lightest. It DOES fly up in a wind, though.
    My UKs do well, but aren't as light.
    I wear knit boxers and they work well for ventilation and wicking.

    I recommend Ex-Officio travel boxer briefs. I wore mine under a Stillwater thrifty over the fourth in Florida and was totally comfortable.

    Thanks guys, I will check out both Wal-mart and the Under Armor. It's difficult enough to wear a kilt in public, I am not ready to chuck the underwear yet. Maybe when I turn 60.

    The only reason I ever wear layers of clothes is when I'm cold.
