Agreed Dino - sorry, should have said get a size bigger if possible. But the old army (and homeless/down and out) trick is always to concentrate on keeping the vitals around the stomach and intestines warm. You lose blood flow to the extremities if you do not have enough warmth in those vital areas. Wrap anything around the waist if you do feel an extra chill - that will release blood flow for the extremities. Hmm beginning to sound like Viz's Top Tips. "When cold, wrap yourself in the carcass of a horse or, if in an urban environment, half a dozen urban foxes or 20 squirrels. Helps you to keep warm and reduce urban pests'.
