Well I watched a popular science program with experiments where the same subjects were put into a freezer in different attire. They were asked to carry out some actions there after adjustment and all was timed. When their core was warm they could carry out those actions without gloves with no problem and stumbled when the core was poorly covered. They also had an Inuit there to contrast less impact of the core coverage by the attire for him. They even had a thermal camera to show how the body strategizes protecting the core.
