Waterproof kilt...?

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
If you want something traditional there's the Inverness Rain Cape. Popular with pipers then made famous
by the likes of Sherlock Holmes and (for those old enough to remember) Jon Pertwee as Doctor Who. :O_O:

Nylon versions available here, looks very practical for bushcraft or hiking as well as solving crimes & fighting alien invasions.

Arktis Ltd used to make a good kilt, but I cant find it on their website now (soldiersystems still shows it). And ZPacks makes an 54g Dyneema version.
 
i use a ULA rain kilt from time to time. Awsome for the weight/pack size (you could almost lose it in a pocket) and also a very handy do it all type thing for travelling

I'd tend to ignore posts by this guy. He woke a thread 12 years old to post another Viglink. He's just using sites like BCUK to feather his nest. More on Viglink here.

Should I ever need such a thing as a waterproof kilt, I'd ask Twodogs what he could do for me in waxed cotton.
 
The point about the kilt is the kilting that is to say the pleating that allows a large amount of material to wrap around the waist and afford a lot of free movement without hobbling the wearer as a tight skirt might. If you are going to wear anything that goes down to your knees or below you are going to have to allow for that extra material that will allow you to walk with a natural stride, either a vent or two, or pleating. Think for example a drizabone style riding coat, that has to allow the extra material to work.

Well you could actually buy one of those Pakistani Utilikilt knockoffs and wax that, a bit heavy to carry around just in case it rains though.

Then again maybe go the full 9 yards and wear a made to measure proper Scottish kilt, if it was good enough for the highlanders etc.
