Still, I find it objectively easier to defend from cold than heat. Other than living indoors with AC or inside water, what can you do?

    I can get used to being hot. Plus you get relief in the shade and at night. When it's cold, it's too cold during the day, night, sun, or shade. It's also a PITA to put on several layers of clothes plus a coat. In the summer I can pretty much roll a t shirt, shorts, and flip flops 24\7.

    You're wearing the wrong clothes.

    I walk/hike for hours in -2--20C with 1-2 layers plus a coat. You have your skin layer; some kind of generuc athletic wear to wick away sweat, your insulating layer, a thick sweater, and your coat, but usually I just have the skin layer and unzipped coat.

    Same with the legs, long underwear for the skin, sweatpants for insulation, and snowpants, but usually just jeans and underwear.

    I know how to dress, dumbass. I don't like the cold, so I wear three layers plus a coat on my upper and two layers on my bottoms along with wool socks and winter boots. ... Several layers. Plus hat, gloves and a face covering if it's also windy.

    If you're dressing correctly, IDK how you can be cold. Get a thicker insulating layer?
