£68 this can't be real

 

[realearner]

Bloody hell your right, what a good price

 

[copper_head]

That is quite something, seen them before but not one for me I think...

 

[British Red]

Never mind - just a moment of surprise better unvoiced

 

[lou1661]

OMG??????

Seriously?

Grown men say that now?

No, they don't.

 

[HHazeldean]

Hahahaha thats the most ridiculous thing I've seen in a while!!

It was a wind up, 5.11 made one as an april fools joke.
However, they got such a positive response, they decided to put them into production.
And if you think that's expensive, I would direct your attention to the Utilikilts Survivor.
Pair it up with a MaxP Thermite as a Sporran

 

[Imagedude]

A skirt for men! As if.

 

[Niels]

Looks practical though! You just have to squat with one of those.

 

[BillyBlade]

No, they don't.

Exactly. Anyone who isn't in a training bra who uses that term makes me instantly suspicious of them.

Because if you're not a 12 yr old girl why the bloody hell you trying to sound like one?

As for the kilt, love it!

Nothing new here, it's all been done before;

CEO of 5.11 Tactical says of the Tactical Duty Kilt "It's time to explain ourselves about the 5.11 Tactical Duty Kilt (TDK) announced April 1st, 2012. There's a story behind this one and an outcome we just weren't expecting. About a month ago our lead designer, Cory Nykoluk, came to me with the idea to have some fun on April 1st with a 5.11 Tactical Duty Kilt. "We've had a number of requests for kilts, so why not make one?" ... I gave the project a green light ... to make the "TDK" a true 5.11 product supported by a proper launch. Operational security was strict as only about 6 people inside 5.11 knew about this project. In fact, the only reference in meetings and e-mails was to "Project Caber." "...the Tactical Duty Kilt launch was a success, so it seems the April Fool's Day joke is on us!"

Well they did add this to their site.

[Big Stu 12]

If theres somthing to selll.. no matter what it is and how good it is some one will buy it....

 

[Goatboy]

Used to wear a kilt to work in forestry and on the hill. While nice and refreshing the dreaded midge and long jaggy wet vegetation did point out it's drawbacks however.

 

[Graham_S]

I've got a Utilikilt.
I wore it to the Moot one year, very practical and comfortable.
