    Unfortunately I dont have hose yet, so I had on my wool hiking socks scrunched over my Docs, and my legs were fine.

    I guess that everyone assumes that because your legs are "exposed" that you would be cold, but 8 yards of heavy material does wonders to retain body heat.

    I was asked to help several ladies carry a box up a flight of stairs earlier today...

    I can remember when I was much younger (8-12 or so) we would always have Physical Training and sport wearing shorts, wool knee sox and bulky sweaters under light "wind breakers". As long as the temperature was above -10 C (15 F) below that there was the danger of frostbite on our knees. As we were doing calisthenics and playing either soccer or rugby, we kept quite warm.

    Friday morning it was -3F here in cincy. I spent about an hour shooting exteriors for a TV show in a corduroy UK (wool hose and my storm cape from Empire Canvas), really not a big deal.

    I'm usually fine in the cold as long as my core and head (I'm lacking natural head cover) stay warm.

    Most pants are very thin even the winter wool slacks.

    not just that, but do you realize just how thin bluejeans are?
