How good are kilt rolls, really?

I am traveling this summer and I've been back and forth about whether to bring a kilt. Now I have a plan to meet up with another Xmarker and I thought it would be a faux pas to show up to meet an Xmarker wearing trousers.

Naturally I'd like it to looks its best, so I am not wearing it for the flight. There have been a few discussions here about the best way to pack a kilt. I am familiar with some of the tricks, I am looking for specific feedback/experience with a kilt roll- the tube that the rolled up kilt slides into.

Thanks in advance
