[pct-l] Hiking Kilts

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good evening, Yosemeite,



I thought about a kilt – very briefly.  I don’t have any strong need to make
a cultural statement, even though I do have Celtic ancestors, but my
concerns were the weight – which most kilt peddlers don’t show – and the
price:  I wear small, thin athletic shorts which weigh between 2.7 oz. and
4.9 oz. per pair.  I usually buy them used at the thrift store or GI surplus
for $3-$5 dollars.
