Easy Peasy Tip: Wear a Hat!
By Karina | November 5, 2011
If you’re coming into wintertime, do yourself a favor - wear a hat! Much in the same vein as Put On A Sweater, a hat will keep you warmer than you think it ought to. Even though it turns out that you don’t actually lose most of the heat from your head, if you’re chilly you’ve probably already covered up most of your exposed skin, and putting on a hat is a very simple add-on that will warm you up. If you’re outdoors in the wind a hat can protect your head from a greater chill, too - and choose one with a brim, and you’ve got sunblock!
So experiment with insulating your body. Go head and put on a hat - the amount of warmer you will feel will probably seem disproportionately high compared to the relative ease of putting a hat on.

I once read somewhere that you lose 90% of your body heat from your head… not true to me.
It’s not true. Since the test was done with a subject that was fully clothed with the head uncovered, it would only make sense that all the heat would be vented through the only exposed area. If the experiment were done with a naked subject, we wouldn’t even have that “fact.” The tip sure is helpful. Most people complete forego headwear and then complain of the “biting cold on my ears.”
