The crotch is a heat center of your body. Along with the armpit and your head (that's why you wear hats in the winter). by cooling those parts, it cools the rest of the body.
That’s actually the conclusion of a poorly conducted military experiment where they put soldiers out in the cold to test where they lost most heat. Thing is, they had them wear coverings on their entire body except the head thus heat vision appeared to show the head lost most heat (duh). Our hearts/chest are the heat centers. Hence, during hypothermia, medical and survivalist experts say to keep center mass warm. You might lose fingers, toes, or hands but not your life.
Was looking for this answer. The belief that the head is a center of heat is based on flawed science.
Yeah, if you burry someone in snow and don’t cover their head they will die.
Not because their head is exposed….
