I guess that everyone assumes that because your legs are "exposed" that you would be cold, but 8 yards of heavy material does wonders to retain body heat.

I can remember when I was much younger (8-12 or so) we would always have Physical Training and sport wearing shorts, wool knee sox and bulky sweaters under light "wind breakers". As long as the temperature was above -10 C (15 F) below that there was the danger of frostbite on our knees. As we were doing calisthenics and playing either soccer or rugby, we kept quite warm.
