I still remember this one time , must be at least 30 years ago when I use to snowmobile...we were dum and stupid , and would go out in extreme cold , the temp dropped dropped to - 31 c after nightfall , ive never experienced anything similar before , by the end of the ride we were about 30 km before reaching the shelter ...the colder we got , the faster we pushed the machine to reach the shelter, speed in excess of 60 mph , i remember not my skin feeling cold but my inners , lungs , heart, chilled down to the core , a few buddies had there tip of there nose turn completely white...white like paper....took hours for me to stop shivering after I got home...even by being buried under blankets... these are the exact same gloves I was wearing at the time...I still have them...lol.
