Kilting in the cold

[bubba]

The only thing about the mitten theory that's a bit off is if the wind is blowing. Cold plus wind equals chill factor. It can be 10 above zero but when you add in the wind it can effect the skin as if it were -10 or colder. When the temperature is below 30F I'm wearing heavy jeans outside. Having been frostbitten on several occasions I refuse to take the chance of a repeat if I can help it. Once you've had frostbite you become much more sensative to cold and more easily frostbitten again.

That's interesting-when the weather is particularly crappy and cold, I find my kilt warmer than jeans. My thighs get really cold from the wind and wet blowing across them, but the kilt keeps me nice and toasty. Throw in kilt hose, and my legs are more covered than I used to be in the winter snows.
