I like summer the most cause it’s the only season I don’t feel like shit. Whether it’s allergies, sinuses, or just general hatred for going outside (and no don’t tell me to just put on more layers cause I’m already wearing 5 layers in 8° weather and still freezing my ass off while struggling to move). Doesn’t help that I work in a cooler so spending 8-11 hours in a cold room only to leave into the colder outside isn’t enjoyable. I miss going on walks at local parks, but all I want to do now is get back in bed ASAP cause that’s the warm place.
Why would you need more than 3 layers? Is your middle layer not insulating enough? Are there exposed parts of your body? If you don’t feel like wearing a scarf or mask, some vaseline on the nose/cheeks can help.
Tried the Vaseline cause I’m not allowed to wear scaves or masks at work where it’s also cold af. Didn’t work. Same with trying to wear 3 layers of cottom gloves while working which didn’t stop my hands from being in pain from the cold (they get cold faster than anything else on me) and more hinders my ability to work efficiently. I’m only comfortable when in a 70-85° area (or whatever my shower can get to at max heat). Any less and I’m freezing, but I can handle a decent bit more.
Big, bulky mittens, hopefully your jacket has straps on the wrist so no heat escapes there. If you need to use a touch-screen, they make 1-finger mittens.
My problem is with having to twist my hands and bend my fingers around my hook a lot. Work only allows the cotton gloves they supply which get changed out often due to them getting soaked fast which only makes it colder. They gave me these sleeve things which are extremely tight, but even wrapping them around the ends of the gloves doesn’t stop my hands from freezing.
in spring the rain is miserable, makes everything muddy, and you cant walk afterwards because of that mud + overgrown plants. and winter is just that but cold snow and the constant worry of my pipes freezing or water system fucking up.
fall is decent but has nothing good for going on it, though going on walks at 100(f) is heavenly.

wouldn’t you want 4 finger mittens?
More surface area=more heat loss.
