I still see the odd bloke walking around wearing shorts.
I guess it must be a fashion thing, it certainly can't be for comfort!



I usually start to put my shorts on when the outside temperature hits 18 deg C
(about June up here on Dartmoor )


As long as it's sunny with light winds, 15C is quite comfortable.

Talking of clothes, as I needed a new winter coat I was faced with the
choice of a very bulky garment or a much thinner, fleece lined coat
which incidentally was half the price. I chose the thinner one. And it's
quite warm enough, even a little too warm with temps in the 8-10C range.
For the few 'bitterly cold' days with windchill around 0C the addition
of a scarf should suffice.

The point is, 20 years ago I probably wouldn't have considered this a
'proper' winter coat at all.
