Vasodilation
Stage 1 of hypothermia (mild)- shivering, groginess & muddled thinking
Stage 2 - (moderate) - violent shivering which can stop suddenly, an inability to pay attention, slow shallow breathing & a weak pulse
Stage 3 (severe) - loss of consciousness, death.

You are referring to stage 2, but not all sufferers start to rip off their clothes etc.
This is fascinating. Is there somewhere I can find out more?

paradoxical undressing?
Nymphomania? I wonder if we have any sufferers on here?

I very much hope so!
