    Kilt for Kayaking

    One of my friends who goes Kayaking in North Carolina has noticed that one of his team mates wears a kilt when he changes his clothes (what a great idea!). His team mate is Scottish and he wants one too. Obviously it is not a wool kilt. Does anyone have any idea where to get one that is suitable for outdoor wet pursuits. Sounds just like home!

    Welcome, Glasgow girl, from Inverness-shire and British Columbia. I can't quite imagine wearing a kilt whilst kayaking, so I'm not too sure whether you mean changes his clothes before or after. In any case, if you are looking of a Polyviscose (and I think you are) then look to most of our advertisers here.

    Check out the REI web site.Look under shorts.They sell a kilt that is great for outdoor use like camping or kayaking.

    I may end up doing the MR340 kilted... I was considering using one for after cycling this year too... PV or Acrylic would likely be most suitable due to being washable

    Thanks for all the great ideas. Surfing around I found www.kilts-n-stuff.com and they have canvas kilts made out of 100% Denim. Everyone, have a great Burn's Night tomorrow or rather today wherever you are.

    A Mountain Hardware elkammando Kilt would work. Or possibly an xkilt or utility style kilt.

    Ive canoed in my ElKommando kilts before and find them great for most any outdoor activity. Come spring REI and Mountain Hardwear will put these on the market. It is sort of like bike shorts, you know you get the bike short tan. Same thing happens with the kilt.

    A synthetic kilt will dry quickly when it gets wet. Cotton could lead to hypothermia in all but the hottest weather.

    The original post was referring to changing under the kilt. As I don't change it is moot to me. My kayak has a long cockpit enabling me to sweep pleats or even bring the dog along. Not a sea going rig by any means. The pleats are so flat on the Mtn. Hardware kilt that its never been uncomfortable sitting on them. That or I have a tough hide.
