That’s your experience. No matter how well I dress, I can’t stop my bones from aching in the cold. On the flip side, I’m typically comfortable in the heat, even in 38 Celsius temps. I obviously have an upper limit of like 40-45C, but so do most humans.
Likewise it’s not really safe to chill outside in -40 to -50C for most humans either. At that point you’re getting frostbite through the wool underlayers, and the exposed skin will literally sting.
We are in this thread discussing our experiences, so, valid all around. For most folks who don’t have bone ache(that sucks), effective layering provides an “out” from the cold. Once you are in shorts and a shirt, there’s nothing more you can do to be more comfortable in the heat (aside from an alternate, bedouin strategy) but that’s not really relevant in western countries. Maybe it will be soon.
I think we can both agree heat plus humidity is the absolute worst. Heat on its own is certainly the lesser evil
