i can confirm to an extent, someone i know at uni did a study on body heat and stuff,
more importantly, keeping your head warm, as this is where most heat is lost will keep more heat in, therefore, your fingers and toes wont get as cold. |
Yup - if any part of the body gets cold the heart has to pump harder to keep that bit warm with corresponding lack of effectiveness elesewhere. So if you can keep all parts of the body warm and reduce heat loss from extremities then everything is hunky-dory.
I use a balaclava in winter plus scarf cos I don't like full face helmets so combined with open face hemet and full visor it does the business. Being an old fashioned retro type i also wear a Barbour international mortorcycling jacket plus inner lining which ion really chily days combined with a wool jumper worksd a treat.
