Before we embark on what item to construct, we must first know which part of the body one loses the most heat. In the 1950s, people believed that the head is the part of the body that loses the most amount of heat, however many scientists have debunked the myth. This myth was thought to first arisen due to a flawed interpretation of a vaguely explained scientific experiment by the US military. This is because in the experiment, only the head is exposed nakedly while the whole body was covered with clothing. The scientist explained that although the face, head and chest are more sensitive to changes in temperature of the surrounding as compared to the rest of the body parts. In actual fact, the rate where heat energy is lost throughout the body is equal in all body parts.
Next up, we need to find out which type of material is the best insulator of heat and which one is the most affordable for the poor.
As the rate of heat loss is the same in all parts of the body, we therefore come into a conclusion that the piece of clothing that covers the most amount of surface area of the body prevents the most heat loss. Therefore, we derive with the idea to make
