As a mountain person I just want to let all of you normies know that 27°F is not ‘sleeves’ weather for quick exposure.
Like if I am taking out the trash or driving to the store or walking to the mailbox or whatever. I do not consider sleeves at all until about 26F°, but that’s just going to be a hoodie. At about 18°F or so, I’ll go for a light coat on top of that. Single digits is where I break out the winter coat. Subzero you start layering.
We’re not flexing. It’s adaptation. I can basically not handle physical work above 85 degree heat. 0 stamina. My body knows how to keep warm. My body does not know how to keep cool.

That last sentence - yes! 0 degrees outside? No problem, coat. 80 degrees outside? I turn into a fussy baby. At 90 I’m like non functional
