I went skiing in minus 34 C a couple of weeks ago. It took a fair bit of thought to dress for it but I was able to last about three hours outside and had a great day. I don't think you can deal with heat extremes as easily.
- odonnellryan 5y agoThat's without wind chill?
- swader999 5y agoYeah. Wind chill is a difficult measure to use. Varies a lot, you make wind when you ski fast, it really only affects exposed skin which you don't have at this temp.
- tcmart14 5y agoWhy I like winter. I can always add more layers. However, in the summer, you can only remove so many layers until it becomes a crime.
- Sharlin 5y agoAnd being naked would not help much, or would make it even worse, depending on how sunny it is.
- doubled112 5y agoThank you for making me imagine sunburn in some really uncomfortable areas.
- LorenPechtel 5y agoRemoving that last layer doesn't gain you all that much in high humidity conditions, and in some situations it's going to cause you sun protection issues.
- joe_the_user 5y agoGas or chemically powered personal air conditioners may become more common. Of course this solves the problem for the individual while worsening it for the planet/society. Edit: At 500 watts, you could combine your personal cooler with a solar panel. The system would be 2-3000 dollars. A bit more than a parka but less than a car.
