Utility Kilts: A Must-Have for Burning Man by Ozkilts What is a Utility Kilt?

This kilt is a modern twist on the classic kilt worn by Scottish gents. Like conventional kilts, these kilts feature flat fronts and pleated sides, but they are made from heavy-duty fabrics similar to the materials used to produce work wear kilt. The look of utility kilts is much more modern than a standard kilt, and the design includes pockets that allow you to carry many items, just like you can with a pair of cargo pants.

 

Why Pick a Utility Kilt for Burning Man?

One of the best things about Burning Man is that you’re free to express yourself and be who you are. Kilts break from convention and allow you to be an individual. Utility kilts can withstand the sand and the hot sun, and you won’t believe how cool and comfortable wearing a kilt is.

You’ll be able to dance without worry due to the roomy fit of the kilt. Plus, all the pockets let you walk around Burning Man with your essentials secured, so you won’t have to be weighed down by a heavy backpack or bag.

 

Things to Consider When Choosing Kilts

There is a wide array of utility kilt designs available. To choose the one that’s right for you, you’ll want to consider the appearance of the kilt and look for one that matches your sense of style. There are other things that you’ll want to think about as well, including:

    • Closure. Some of these kilts snap closed, while others are fastened with buckling belt straps. You can choose which kind you like the best.
    • Storage. Utility kilts come with detachable and removable pockets in different sizes and shapes, so you can select one that will give you the right amount of storage.
    • Other features. You may want a kilt with D rings for attaching gear, with belt loops for wearing a belt or other features.
