Generate your own inner heat. Wim Hof method is the way. I live in New York and after I started doing this I have not had any heat on in my apartment. Saving major money on that. Also most days I just go out in jeans and hoodies + burn fat like a motherfucker. You use less money for heat, and you burn fat just by being outside, and you are not cold. Bonus points is I'm having a lot more energy, never sick, feeling more alpha and happier. Also it's a nice way to match with bitches on tinder when your photo is of you bathing in a icy river with snow everywhere, chicks see that shit and see that you're a tough alpha guy.

What the fuck is this bullshit? This is almost entirely wrong from a medical standpoint. Like pretty much every about the physiology is wrong. Your body doesn't just keep a blood ph of 8, it will work actively to reduce it down to the normal of 7.4 or so. Hell actually getting a blood ph of 8 is dangerously stupid. The amount of brown fat in adults is negligible, you aren't just going to randomly kick in brown fat use with this retarded shit.

This is all fucking retarded.

He has done things that science deemed 'impossible'. This is the cutting edge of science, so your info might not be up to date, friendo. He is hacking the autonomous nervous system. Check the documentary, read the papers. He is doing experiments with Harvard. Educate yourself desu.

Yes, brown fat amount is most adults is negligible, but you can increase the amount through his methods.

Don't start attacking it before you look into it.

Serious answer: layers.

You don't need a Moncler coat to be warm, just some comfy undershirt (uniqlo heattech is good for the price), sweater, and any winter coat without holes in it.

New York is rarely colder than VA most of the year.
The only issue is that the housing there easily loses heat due to bad insulation/heat trapping. Shitty windows etc.
When outside you face the wind. You would be find with an extra-warm heattech undershirt+Leggings. Throw on a light jacket, and a scarf to cover up your neck/lower face and you're fine.

It's more about blocking the wind than anything.

Since you posted uniqlo
>get blocktech parka (the shell one)
>get heattech longsleeve and long johns
>get uniqlo fleece jacket
This is entry level technical layering, heattech longsleeve is next to skin, it keeps you warm and moves the moisture away from your skin
The fleece insulates and again moves the moisture away
The shell protects you from wind and rain while simultaneously breathing so excess moisture gets evaporated and you stay dry and warm. Now, I don't actually own any of those but that's how they work in theory at least, the actual breathability of the jacket for example is mystery to me but you can't afford anything better.
And naturally you layer up and down depending on the weather, it's cold you wear them all, it's kinda warm but rainy and/or windy, throw the heattech shirt and parka on, it's dry and kinda warm, wear the heattech and the fleece.

>> No.12197651

>>12196926
Layers is what keeps you warm even if you do end up buying a big parka.

Make sure your entire body is covered because the "heat escapes through the head" meme is broscience. Any exposure will make you cold so you might want gloves until you adjust. With that in mind, I can recommend wool caps for headwear as they are still decent even if wet, the acrylic stuff is no good even if you get some TURBOHEATTRAP420BLAZEIT POLYBLENDEDDOUBLEACTION hype crap.

You skip long johns? Your legs get cold which means you are cold.
Skip gloves? Hands are cold which means you are cold
...
If you find a gap in your defense, try to get something to stop it instead of just suffering anytime you go outside. Don't spend too much.

People recommend the pre 2005 for dying as it has more cotton. Personally dylon has been shit for me, I would recommend 2x iDye Poly and 2x regular iDye even though I only did 2x iDye Poly. But try both and see what works.

you lose heat through your head and feet because of blood, surface area, and distance from warmth, not complicated

keeping everything warm is good obviously, but head and toes is where you lose the most the easiest

it hasnt been that cold here this winter. Get scarves that look nice if you like the look, get beanies if you like them or look good in them since that shit is in, and get a parka that reaches mid thigh. You dont need gloves unless you're going to have both of your hands out often when you're outside. Otherwise just keep your hands in your jacket's pockets, you'll look better.

Thanks for restating that you have to cover your hands and feet as well like I originally said. Really good contribution to the thread.
