Did you really just say that, bro?
You of all people know what I do and have been doing for what, 25+ years?
Although a lot of my work is at the office, much of it is also on-sight with my guys and believe me, I've earned my way through the many years of hard, physical work in these elements. Last Friday, I gave the guys the choice to come in or stay home because we're at the end of our current project and the remaining items are all outdoors, including a small rubber roof. So I had to fill the shoes of those who took the day and was up 25ft on a 5"-pitch for 7-1/2 hours and it was 5 degrees.
So yeah, I can complain to the Canadians about a rather unusual cold front they're sending our way lol that is currently beating the daylights out of us around here and a lot of the country for that matter.
Heck Miami is currently 58 degrees! Average temp for South Beach this time of year is 78. This will be the coldest New Year's eve in Boston in 55 years. This ain't the usual, cold, winter spell.
Well, no offense to these fellas, but what we do ain't a 10 minute jog lolzo. I'd like to see any of these guys put that stuff on and come out for a full day's worth of work outdoors and see if it works.
There's only one way to dress for being outdoors for a long period in these dangerously cold temperatures, and it ain't no skimpy fancy skin-wear I can guarantee it.
You need a lot more of the proper fabric on top of that.
You have to bundle up like it's no-one's business because you can easily die. The difficulty is having the proper under and outerwear to keep your body temp sealed within and especially your head, since you lose your body temp mostly from your head. And you have to be very careful with your extremities, especially toes because they'll get frost-bit without you even knowing it. It's a dangerously delicate balance.
