The autumn air is sharp, the turf is often damp, and the bleachers are freezing. For parents, fall sports are a test of thermal endurance. Your young athlete is running, generating constant heat, and staying perfectly warm. You, the stationary spectator, are fighting a losing battle against the cold—your body is not producing enough heat, and your traditional layers are failing you.

Every hunter knows the feeling. You've been sitting for hours, absolutely still, hoping for that perfect shot. Then, a shiver starts, and it's not from excitement. Your hands feel like blocks of ice, and the cold begins to seep into your core. The moment you've been waiting for is finally here, but you're too cold to take it.
