I wear my 16 oz kilt at some of the hottest, humidest games in Texas and wouldn't wear any othr weight.

Actually, does Sport Kilt use PV? I thought it was only Rocky who did.

There's "pv" and then there's "Marton Mills PV". See the comparison chart here:

USAK, CCK, Bear and a few others use MM PV.

Nick,

As an FYI, kiltmakers in the "lower end" of the price range use lots of different materials, some of which are better than others...

MM PV
PV (from elsewhere)
Cotton
Cotton Poly
Acrylic
Wool Blends
Etc.

None of these are the quality of a 13 or 16 oz worsted wool to make a kilt from, but some come much closer than others. If you want a further comparison, check out the comparison chart above (link in my last post).

"No matter how good a kiltmaker you are, when you start with poor quality fabric, you end up with a poor quality kilt."

I've worn my military summer weight 18 oz MacKenzie to the Enumclaw games before, when it was in the mid-upper 80's... Wasn't too bad, temperature-wise. Not sure if I'd want to do a 22 oz kilt, but the 18 oz is perfectly wearable.
