Back in 1984 in his book "The Complete Walker III" Colin Fletcher 
proposed Colin's Kilt aka Everyman's Wonderful Waterproof Trash-bag 
Skirt. This consists of a large plastic rubbish bag sliced open at the 
base and then pulled up over the legs and tucked into your shorts or 
tied in place round your waist with cord. Fletcher says he designed it 
for walking through long wet vegetation to keep his shorts dry.
