It started out as a April Fools joke and became a reality:
$60 over at 5.11. It’s a pre-order right now, shipping September 1st. Order yours up today!
5.11 gave a ton of stuff away here on the blog a couple weeks ago… maybe they would want to give a few kilts away? I’ll look into it if you guys are interested.
For the love of god wear some underwear underneath if you buy this. No need to let the world know you operate in drafty operations.
Thoughts?

So stupid…
*facepalm* Man up. ;)
Law Dog will be happy.
This is very similar to the Utilikilt, which has been around for years. I do not own one.

If I see any of you out and about in this, I will take a series of photos and turn you into a meme. It’s still a skirt, and chicks don’t tend to dig guys in dresses. Just sayin.
I wouldn’t wear it because of the velcro “tactical” pockets.
The rest of your statement is poorly informed. Just sayin’.
Wife loves me in a kilt, whether it’s a utility, dress, or great kilt. Sounds like somebody is typically jealous. Go ahead and deny it and start a whine fest…
Its a kilt and chicks do dig guys wearing one!
Chicks may not like dudes in dresses, but kilts are magic. I personally am secure enough to wear them. Don’t hate because of your own issues.
It’s not a SKIRT, it’s a KILT, a uniform of battle, a standard of dress through the ages long before pants were thought of. Don’t spout out your ignorance without any knowledge aforethought.
I still don’t get how you ‘relieve’ your self in a kilt.
A lot easier than when you’re in trousers.
the woman of the house forced me into my computer chair and pushed a credit card into my hand and made me type in the address to order one of these. she was emphatic.
i’m sure it’s because she would hate to see me in one of these.
Somewhere, a shooting team will sport these suckers at their next event.
you do have to be carefull in the prone position, otherwise it violates family friendly rules.
It’s only a skirt if you wear something under it.
Is it a skirt if I wear SHOES under it?
I already smoke a pipe and wear vibram five fingers, a kilt would be way too much, not because it’s a skirt, I’ve heard they are comfortable as hell but I just don’t like being forced to interact with people all the time and people already bug me for info about the shoes or feel the need to tell me their grandpa smoked a pipe, constantly.
I don’t think it’s long enough to cover my “boa constrictor c@ck”

As Farmer Bob observed — the difference between a skirt and kilt is the coverage underneath.
I wear kilts every weekend during the fall when I go to the local renaissance festivals. Truly fun events for the whole family.
Oh, and at ~$60 I’d consider one. But if you can get a couple to give away, I’d gladly take one.
Hey TOADSTONE – you beat me too it – I use to wear my UtilityKilt – loved the thing till people got scared I would get into a fight as some people tried to call it gay! (comfortable as hell) Now I just glower wearing my traditional Cornish Tarton kilt on St. George’s!
You can tell whether a Scotsman is wearing undergarments with his kilt, if he has dandruff on his feet.
Wow, c’mon guys speak up proudly for your love of wearing dresses so we can make fun of you.
Gladly. I just hope you can tell me how insulting anything different from your “standard” is really helpful.
When that is clear, please feel free to insult me for wearing a kilt.
KUDO’s
I’d try one. I’d bet they are extremely comfortable but as battlewagon already said wearing one in public would force someone to talk, interact, and meet new people and personally I don’t like a lot of the people I already know. Maybe at a Renaissance Fair where this wouldn’t be as strange, but I definitely wouldn’t be free balling in it.
One note: if you’re gonna wear one, you’d better have good legs. Nothing worse than a fat man in a kilt.
Am I the only one who thinks this video is a pure troll? Even if it is actually done by the 5.11 people themselves, the voiceover is kinda cheesy, as is the parkour, as is the bar scene, as is…ect.
It was an April fools joke. The response was huge, so they decided to produce it.
I love how it was a joke that backfired in a good way.
the only people I’ve had make smart-ass remarks when I’m in a kilt have been guys, and it’s usually because they can’t get their wives/girlfriends to stop flirting with me. I’d go for a giveaway.
Question: What, if anything, is typically worn under a kilt?
Answer: Nothing is worn – all of the equipment is in proper working order.
Cheers.
I wear a kilt on occasion, and when my girlfriend discovered this, she had me ask her mother for fashion advice, because she hated the boots I tended to wear with it. When I asked her mother what shoes I should wear with my kilt, her mother just said “shiny ones.”
Just got my first kilt not too long ago, and now I already have three… I think my girlfriend likes them but worried how much a chick magnet they actually are… just sayin’…
I want that!!
