ELKOMMANDO KILT EXPERIENCE
1st experience wearing a kilt. Wore it to an Irish Fest. Little tentative sitting & bending over @ first. No worries later. Pleats and center snap designed perfectly. Very comfortable. Convenient. Plenty of onboard storage space. XL fit just a tad smaller than I like. Size 38 waist. Belt and front waist snap were @ their limit, but not uncomfortable or looked stressed in any way. Received numerous compliments particularly from the Scots who were wearing traditional wool kilts in 90 degree weather, while I was reasonably cool & comfortable. Usually wear shorts 50 degrees and above anyway. Now have another alternative. Can't wait to have an excuse to wear it to another festival, family gathering, golf? or hitting the trail.
Sweet kilt
Sweet Kilt, perfect for all occasions, warrior dash was no problem..tough enough to handle the fire, mud and obstacles. Never let me down, worked great
Elkommando Kilt
This kilt is the most comfortable piece of clothing I own. Perfectly sized, quality material, and stiching, this kilt will last a long time. Chamois material inside the waistband feels great,I regret now waiting to buy one, so I'm ordering another.
Comfort Perfection
I have to say that their has never been a more comfortable garment to wear on a hike, and its not even hot yet! I cant wait for the hot days that are ahead. This will be my FIRST choice, Thanks.
Perfect Leg Wear
This Kilt is great! In hot weather, I always sweat out bifurcated bottoms, but not this kilt. I wore it every day on a 7 day backpacking trip, and it was the only piece of clothing I had at the end of the trip that was not completely funked. Plus, it's a great conversation piece! The only thing I might ask Mountain Hardware to change is add different color choices. Please include tartans!
