"Cotton and down can kill you." It isn't like they - or most of the rest of us - are climbing Everest here.

- mirimir 7y agoI guess that you've never lived somewhere that's way below freezing in the winter. Or at least, worked up a sweat outside, there.
- Cougher 7y agoThe New England climate that I've lived in for the bulk of my life is very close to Copenhagen's. I also love the winter and I exercise vigorously almost daily, working up a sweat out in the woods. Amazingly enough, most people during the course of human history didn't have access to fancy fabrics, yet we managed to not get "killed". Living in a city has the added advantage of having any number of heated establishments that you can step into if you're about to die.
- mirimir 7y agoHey, sorry about my tone. My experience is in areas with far colder winters. And cross-country skiing for long distances through public land, with only occasional shelter. Before there were cellphones.
