You can equate this theory to my observations at morning PT (Physical Training) formations here on the plains of Fort Riley Kansas. Gloves will keep your hands relatively warm when exercising, however, mittens will keep your whole hand much warmer than gloves because you can generate your own friction to keep the blood flowing and the circulation thus maintaining a toasty warm hand.



Therefore, like gloves, TREWS will generate much less body friction as opposed to wearing any heavyweight kilt.
