Lovely stuff! -18 isn't that bad. I've been out hiking around -15 before and when you're moving, it's fine.

Actually, that would be true only if your head comprised one-fifth of your exposed skin. The myth that you lose more heat from your head than other parts of your body has been perpetuated by the powerful Head, Beanie and Other Domal Apparel Research Lobby. :D
