Rep his thermal imaging camera, it shows where people are losing heat m places it was any exposed skin and we spoke to an expert about the best fabrics to help lock in heat. As the blustery and cold weather lingers, we found most people outside bundled up. A thermal imaging camera shows people like jim seems to be losing body heat. Definitely your head. Your legs a little bit because you own have jeans on. No hat for now, and then o more blocks and the hat goes back on. And regina seems to be warm and only her face lit up. Im chilly with you otherwise i feel fine. Steven says that dressing in layers with the right fabric is key if you are out in the cold for a long period. For your first layer marino wool or polyester blend. These are the two most common base layer, next to your skin and helps to trap the body heat inside. And the the next layer is the insulating layer, three choices. The most expensive is down. Its really really warm and really light. Or you can wear another Synthetic Material or the least expensive option that is fleece. But with all of these and especially with fleece make sure you have a top layer a hard shell to block the wind. Usually any waterproof jacket will be wind proof as well. To prevent frostbite protect your fingers and toes and ears. And he recommends marino wool hats and socks and sock liners are also helpful. And a lot of people ask about cotton cotton, its not bad but if you are prone to sweating or you get wet it doesnt dry out quickly. The damp fabric is against your skin and causes your body temperature to drop quickly and a down coat is not a good option if its raining or sleeting outside. Thank you. Meantime. The u. S.
