Having attended many business meeting and done talks on country clothing, Deerhunter, Jack Pyke and Hoggs and there design, warmth, waterproof effectiveness it always amazes me that people seem to think that "Jeans" are a suitable item of clothing to wear out on a cold wintery day.....Wrong!!! but Why?
Jeans are made from what is classed as an "open cell material" which if looked at closely you can see that there are spaces between the weave which on a cold day fill with water molicules which then freeze making you feel colder, therefore encasing your legs in an ice blanket! so while Jeans are a excellent fashion item they are no use in keeping you warm on a cold day / evening. Hence you can wear jeans in the middle of the summer and still feel cool, not ideal!
This is why cold weather clothing does not have to be thick and heavy but made of many thin tightly woven material to keep the wind and cold from penetrating the material, its hardly rocket science.......
It is much the same as wearing the right boots and socks, if your boots are too tight and you wear 2 pairs of socks there is a higher chance of having cold feet, due to the lack of circulation of air around your feet, so wear a good quality boot and just one pair of socks so as the warmth from your feet warm the air circulating around the inside of your boot.
