    Could it just be a weight thing? So not necessarily fat, muscle could also help.

    If you’re body is heating your whole body, the amount of heat added will increase linearly with volume. But your surface area, i.e. the skin, increases sublinearly with volume. So you get more heat per surface unit?

      Nah, it’s fat. That’s why polar animals have blubber

      I don’t know… , I’ve never been fat and I completely disregard the cold like it’s not even there
