    you don’t need as many layers but really your clothing should account for situations where you may be stranded

    -14c in a hoodie is fine up until you’re 10-16 minutes outside and your body heat is gone (numbers not exactly accurate but hopefully you get an idea of what I mean)

      This is probably from a preschool, though, and a lot of the kids will spend more than an hour at a time outside, so those layers are necessary.

      The idea that your body heat can be gone in 15 minutes is in and of itself insane to me coming from a hot desert region, but I guess at some point body heat generation just can’t keep up.

        You die if you don’t eat in 30 days they say, 3 days without water, or 3 hours laying in the cold.

        There is nothing to do when it’s too hot though, it’s so insanely brutal 🥵, when it’s cold just dress up or stay inside :-)

        The winter clothing is essentially designed to trap existing and newly generated heat but if you are wearing a hoodie you’re just cooling down slowly
