[pct-l] Hiking in a Sport Kilt?

[Daniel Bailey]

Hey Rick,

Have you heard of the Macabi Hiking Skirt?  With a couple of clips, it
easily converts into shorts and would probably help out with hitching if
you're concerned about challenges of being picked up in a skirt.

I purchased and plan on using a Macabi hiking skirt (
http://www.macabiskirt.com/) up until Kennedy Meadows.  I get eaten alive by
mosquitos and don't want to slather my legs with Deet.  After the High
Sierra, I'll likely go back to the Macabi.

Be well,

Senator

I am planning to start in early to mid April at Campo wearing a kilt in
lieu of shorts.  I wore one on my AT thru and tried it out in cold
weather (about 20* and snow) in PA a couple weeks ago.  I'll have a long
underlayer bottom, probably lightweight smartwool as well as rain pants
for chilly nights.

Anyone on this have experience wearing a kilt on the PCT?  Would it
affect my ability to hitch rides into town?
