One jacket, actually. It’s called a winter jacket and it’s often insulated. They usually have hoods and are good are protecting people from the elements. You can combine them with winter-appropriate pants and other accessories for full body protection. It’s all a very new and novel invention. Humans, eh? What will they think of next.

-30 to +30 is definitely not the comparison that would yield this result.
You’re still arguing against nothing.

Thousands of Calgarians don’t matter and 50-50 is an irrelevant objective. The conversation started with the question of how anyone (not a lot of people, not an equal amount of people, just anyone) could prefer this to +30. And the few of us (yes, few, not equal, not 50%) who can handle -30 just fine explained it.

This conversation has never been about which temperature is objectively better. It started with the disbelief that anyone could prefer -30 to +30 on and individual, subjective level and you just haven’t been able to wrap your head around it. Nobody is trying to prove to you that you should think -30 is better, you do understand that, right?
