[QUOTE="t2andreo, post: 242573, member: 25553"] Arn nailed it in his thoughtful reply. I have had cold weather survival training several times. The bit about heat loss through the head, feet and hands is primarily to get folks to cover up because this is where frostbite hits first, at the end of your circulatory system. However, the frostbite risk only comes into play at around freezing temperatures (0 C or 32 F). But, hypothermia can strike even in single digit, above freezing, Celsius and 40-60 degree Fahrenheit temperatures. However, failure to maintain your core / torso temperature within acceptable norms causes hypothermia to set in, regardless of how warm your extremities are. So, one MUST wear proper foot, hand and head gear to protect the extremities if it is very cold, and to feel comfortable. But you must wear layered insulation over your chest to keep your body furnace functioning within acceptable norms. It is like I said above, warm and wet is okay. But cold and wet is very bad.
