Wet Cold vs Dry Cold
Wet Cold vs Dry Cold
25th April 2024
There are many elements which affect how cold you feel and how cold you actually are at the core, in this episode Richard talks about the subtle external factors which can have a big impact on our bodies in lower temperatures.
We’ve covered hypothermia in previous episodes but the exact meaning of the term ‘hypothermia factory’ relates to the perfect mixture of cold and wet with some wind thrown in for good measure, the ideal conditions for pulling away the heat generated by your body.
