Because it sucks to have to brake unnecessarily...
I'm wondering if I'm getting more sensitive with age or just haven't hardened (tf) up yet. I know pretty much exactly what I usually wear at different temps, but still - my head and feet and back of my thighs are colder than I remember, while my hands and face and core are just fine. But I'm generally in worse shape, I can't commute every day without being tired and irritable in the evening.
