Speaking of leg warmers: has anyone used these, and can her/she tell me:
1. If the are light, med, or heavy weight;
2. How durable they are, particularly seams and zippers;
3. How well they stay up without being gripped by your shorts;
4. Do they run true to size or small or large?
As others have said, kilt socks (if they are real kilt socks) will be long

at the top, just below the knee. Gives great flexibility for temp
regulation.

Thanks all. I like to pull the socks over my knees and cinch them there
with the pants' cuffs. Otherwise the breeze bothers me. I've looked at S
Trader but didn't find anything to suit; but thanks for the reference.
Deacon: the idea of leg warmers is a good one -- but not old sweater

Patrick, have you tried simply using kilt-length socks? Is there a specific
