Young En And Boys And Their Wolly Hats
21 Answers
It been quite hot today, in Llanelli. abut 21 degrees, no breeze and no shade.
Every convertible driver for a ten mile radius brought their cars with them today into town, all with the roofs down....Its been like Monte Carlo, without the palm trees.
But at least 50% of the young chaps I have seen today have been wearing, big thick wooly hats, mostly with shorts and T-shirts !
Is it just me or what, but they must have been sweltering.
When I first learned to ski, in Grindelwald, as a school boy, I can recall our ski instructor telling us the quickest way to warm up or cool down, was to take our hats on or off, as most of the heat is lost through the head.
So.... I am guessing it must be a slavish fashion fad that I was witnessing today, which surprises me, as its normally girls and women that wear inappropriate and uncomfortable clothes purely for fashion reasons.

Most of the heat is lost through the head - not true.
According to Professor Gordon Giesbrecht at the University of Manitoba, the world’s leading expert on cold weather survival, the head and neck are only 10 per cent of our body surface area and are no more efficient at losing heat than the rest of our skin.

Well maybe one ought not believe all one reads but I have read an article some time past that said it was a myth, and that the head is no more a radiator of heat than any other exposed skin surface. But I guess you can experiment next winter. Keep your hat on when you go out in the snow but be sure to leave your trousers at home. Let us know how it goes.
Yes it is a fashion thing I'm afraid, and it really is not a great look on these hot days. I have three hats, a Russian border guard hat for when it is bitter cold, the flaps keep my ears warm, if its not so cold I have a woolly hat that I can pull down over my ears if need be, but most of the year I wear an Australian kangaroo skin bush hat, it keeps the sun off my head and off my face in the summer, keeps my bald patch warm in the winter and doubles as the hounds drinking bowl when we are out.
