I always wear a hat outdoors to minimize the sun on my scalp (my family has a history of skin cancer) and also to keep warm when it gets cold. The type of hat and material will change with the temperature.
I also wear gloves if the temperature is below 40 degress F not C. Wearing gloves in cold weather keeps your hands soft. As a man, if you don't think that is important, ask your wife. Nobody really likes to be stroked by sandpaper, if you get my meaning...
Where I grew up, anybody with their hands in their pockets, while outdoors , was said to have `American gloves on `. It`s a Canadian thing.....
To the original question, the OP is from Vancouver. B.C., where they don`t get much cold weather, and certainly no super low wind chill type weather. I am all ways telling Americans who are not educated about the metric system of temperature measurement..........minus 40 C and minus 40 F are THE SAME thing, buddy. Add the 40 kph wind chill and listen to them brass monkeys banging on the door, trying to get inside the house, eh......
Or as one of my friends from the Yukon said, its cold enough to freeze the nuts off a bridge, eh......
