In Indonesia (Bali and Java) my standard hiking [cum volcano bagging] kit 
was a sarong, with as much under it as a kilt....  if one could feel the 
breeze, there wasn't going to be any chafing problems. "When in Rome, do as 
the Romans do..." in Indonesia, the sarong is either gender normal mode of 
dress. A good sarong could be had almost anywhere for $2-3; one could wear 
it, one could sleep on it, one could wash and/or dry with it; and they come 
a millions different colors and pattterns. The sarong and mangosteens - the 
two best exports of Indonesia.
