Very different from being soaked with sweat in a high humidity environment.
I did a lot of running, up until about 25 years ago. Isn't the difference between jogging and running at the seven-minute mile mark? Up here, the icicles are real, and you have to take your coat off to run in the wintertime. The human body generates a lot of heat. The trick is to wear a good winter hat. Most of our heat exits our heads.
"In Canada alone does the word refer to a soft, felted or knitted winter hat. It is interesting to note that Canada boasts the highest per capita ownership of toques, with up to seven per person in any given household, of which at least two will be mislaid each winter. Thus, as with cats and umbrellas, Canadian toques are only nominally "owned," but rather make up a huge floating population which emerges in the winter to intermix and migrate to new owners."
