    Actually more like 20-30% - and when you combine all the heat loss = 100% of a persons body, and divide that by the number of places where heat is lost, then I do believe you will find the majority of that heat loss comes from the head

    That was debunked years ago. It's between 5 and 10%. Blood flow and mass to surface area etc come in to play as well.

    I wear tracksuit bottoms if I'm going running, I occasionally wear a hooding to work and I put the hood up if it's raining. I wear a hat when it's cold.

    When I see lads walking around town wearing a tracksuit with the hood up I have to admit I automatically think they're a scumbag. It's based on the fact that I knew older members of their families a few years back that dressed the same way and they were definitely scumbags in most cases.

    Hoodies are practicable clothing, something for your head if it rains or if you feel cold, keep the wind out.
    ok I live in a rural area so no one cares.

    Yeah...no.

    bbc.com/future/story/20130708-is-most-heat-lost-from-your-head

    Head accounts for 9% of your bodies surface, and accounts for at most 10% of heat loss.

    In one of Pretorius’s studies, volunteers were given drugs to stop them shivering, which the body does involuntarily to stem heat loss. Then they were lowered with a hoist into cold water. In some trials they were entirely submerged. In others they were not lowered as far: their heads were left exposed above the water’s surface

    I stopped reading at this point

    Actually you're wrong,
    it only accounts for about 7%

    Common misconception. If you had your head covered and your arse sticking out, the majority of heat would be lost through the aforementioned arse. :pac:

    Hate walking past gangs of hoodies on street corners, sometimes they say things like hey mister you dropped your gay card.

    That's just a ruse to get you bent over.

    Incorrect, top of your head loses no more heat than any other like sized exposed part of your body

    Today I was just walking through town, minding my own business. I had a baggy tracksuit on and my hood up. I noticed that every few people who drove past were looking at me as if I had done something wrong. It was a cold day and I was freezing me boll*x off, so I put my hood up. Whats so wrong with having your hood up?? Why judge people for the way they dress?


    Yeah yeah likely story.:rolleyes:
    Now now tell us, just who were you planning on clipping? :pac:

    Imagine a baboon in the forest. If he notices that everytime he gets sh!t from another monkey, it's always from a chimp, he's going to keep an eye out for chimps. It may not be fair on chimps, but the baboon certainly gets a lot less sh!t flung at him.

    I'm not a baboon, but I certainly do my best to avoid poo-poo.

    Its the tracksuit not the hoodie that is the problem. Trackies are associated with skangers, and a trackie won't keep you warm, hoodies might.

    No help, your legs will freeze unless you're running around and most trackie wearers don't run, its a fashion item.

    Your link is one person that claims on "their" studies because they've done x,y, z and definitely know.
    Yet, they give NO information on said study....well if you're willing to believe that, ok then.

    I know a fella around our way and he loathes and detests lads wearing trackies/hoodies.

    If he sees one he'll go up to him and yank the hood down and dare yer man to do something about it. He's fairly normal other than that.

    How about wear appropriate clothing for the weather? Hoodies and tracksuit pants aren't the best clothes to keep you warm. Get a nice pair of winter boots, some jeans or other pants that can be warm and a decent jacket plus gloves and a hat or beanie if you want


    We live in Ireland, we know its going to be cold during winter here every year, don't understand why people still don't invest in decent clothes appropriate for our climate to stay warm lol
