[quote=Anonymous]I spent about 16 year in mid-Canada, and my understanding from the people there was that if your body core gets cold, blood is shunted away from the extremities (hands and feet get cold) to perfuse vital organs. Alternatively, keep the core warm, and the blood vessels in the periphery don't clamp down to shunt blood back to the core.

This link has a good illustration:

[quote]Protecting Your Core

Vests provide more warmth than most people realize, and even help keep your extremities warm. How is that possible? When your core temperature starts to drop, the body reduces blood flow to your extremities, increasing blood flow to the core in an attempt to protect your organs. By keeping your core insulated and warm, blood flow remains constant to your extremities, keeping them warmer. That is why often a long sleeve shirt with a good vest (and the right gloves, hats and pants) are enough to keep you warm when being active in cold temperatures.
