If they were “freezing their butt off” on a walk around without the coat, they would be “freezing their butt off” on a walk around even if they had the coat on. —-That’s one of the the biggest reasons I hate wearing it..>its useless when it comes to keeping you warm on a cool/cold day!! Give me a good looking jacket that actually has some insulation to it and I’d be ok with wearing it in the winter months up here in Minny....
