Hiking in a kilt
Re: Hiking in a kilt
Unless the weather is really cool, I prefer to wear short running shorts...the type made of a light fabric and very loose. I find skirts too warm
Re: Hiking in a kilt
I find the extra ventilation of a skirt more than overcomes the lesser and thinner coverage of shorts. But mostly, what fun are shorts?jeanfor wrote:Unless the weather is really cool, I prefer to wear short running shorts...the type made of a light fabric and very loose. I find skirts too warm
Courage, conviction, nerve, verve, dash, panache, guts, nuts, balls, gall, élan, stones, whatever. Get some and get skirted.

Re: Hiking in a kilt
Later today my wife and I will be heading to Yellowstone National Park for some back country hiking. Coming along is my new UT Kilt and my birthday acquisition, the new version Mountain Hardwear Elkommando Kilt. Can't wait! Hiking and mingling around always garners some interesting comments from other vacationers.

Sounds both comfortable and enjoyable. Have fun!

Re: Hiking in a kilt
I'll be headed to the Blue Ridge in October for the fall colors, since due to drought, they are expected to be magnificent, and I have a place to stay within 90 minutes of the Parkway. Ready to do some outstanding day hikes!
Also pleased to have found elderflower syrup at Ikea; it adds much to my drink of choice, the Old Fashioned.

Re: Hiking in a kilt
I just finished a 2 week hiking trip to Blue Ridge Georgia on the BMT. It was too warm to hike well even wearing a 16-17" light weight skirt. The new lightweight fabrics are great for warm weather hiking. Wearing a longer kilt in a heavier fabric would really have been too hot. I would love to buy a utility kilt made with a lightweight poly or microfiberfabric. I have not found any other than the hiking kilt sold by Sport Kilt and I do not like any of the colors or styles offered.

Re: Hiking in a kilt
It was a great vacation, with som fun hikes in my kilts (the longest was in my UT Kilt, in which we hiked nearly 20 miles). I was really happy with the El Kommando kilt (Mountain Hardwear), it was very comfortable.
