A new type of security blanket for young people?

[PF52]

The flip side to this are the kids who wear shorts in the middle of winter.

A couple years ago, I saw the H.S.-age kid down the street using the snowblower while wearing shorts. He'll change his mind when the wind blows it right back on him!

I don’t know about your area but in my area and where I work. I come across young people wearing hoodies and beanie caps all the time, even during summer. I would stroke out if I had a beanie hat on when it’s 95 degrees out. Is it just a fashion tread or what?

If those young people were actually having to do some work, they wouldn't be wearing a hoodie jacket in the summer time. Those are just non productive bystanders with identity issues.

There's a big difference in comfort between wearing a ballcap and a hoodie jacket during the summertime.

I’m 35, and hoodies have been a thing for a very long time. A hoodie is basically my jacket unless I need a winter coat haha.

I don’t wear them in warm weather though.

Landscapers here all wear hoodies in blistering summer heat. I once asked my brother in Louisiana, who has experience with manual labor in crazy high humidity.

His response? I'll paraphrase:

"Clothes that are saturated with sweat behave very differently from one that are dry. If you just assume your shirt will be soaked, you dress differently. It's not the hoodie, it's the hoodie OVER the shirt underneath. The hoodie gives you sun protection and the bulky loose sweatshirt lets air circulate and evaporates sweat from the saturated shirt underneath."

Basically, a hoodie is not super insulating if there's breeze or a saturated wet shirt under it.

The hispanic landscapers I see wearing hoodies in the summer while mowing and trimming are NOT lazy.

I was just in Broward county and saw exactly that. It was blazing hot and very humid. It makes zero sense.

Apparently the lack of work or physical activity makes it possible

At what age do you become bitter and judgemental?

 

[mitsuman47]

What a goofy thing to say

Until you have an assailant pull it and take control during an attack.

At what age do you become bitter and judgemental?

For some people 12 or so.

At what age do you become bitter and judgemental?

I call it reaching the "'These kids today!' Generation." It has happened to every generation. When you were a kid, people 50 years older than you were saying exactly the same things about you.

As compared to literally any other article of clothing?

If you're that scared stay home LMAO.

Especially a wedgie - yeah you can scream like a little girl, but running? Forget about it.

 

[4WD]

Oh, you mean a tuque.

Yeah, was just on a BA flight - family of 5 booked 6 seats in First - the two guys wore those and a hoodie the whole flight … that cabin was far from cold and the vents could be closed …
(These guys mid/late 30’s) …

Literally shaking.

The stupid look is my elder brother that always dresses like a doom & gloom prepper and chooses his attire based around concealed carry and what Duluth sells.

 

[mk378]

Obviously, no hoodie then. Does he have the wedgie-resistant tactical underwear yet?

 

[dubber09]

I don't like hoodies because an assailant can pull it and take control during an attack. I'll wear one around my property when doing yard work but otherwise no.

Same goes for long hair, mine is short so you cannot grab me by hair

Unless, maybe.....you spend your evenings doing bad things you shouldn't and need to conceal yourself during the day?

 

[svtrit]

You know you are old when you have to look up what a beanie cap is. Dude! It's a stocking cap!!!

I worked for a Canadian company for a few years. I was baffeled when they were talking about bunny hugs and touques.

Bunny Hug= Hoodie
Touque= Stocking cap.

Cost me a loonie to figure it out.

Could be a 90deg day in the hood and you'll see fellas with hoodies sinched tight and 'rona face masks on. Usually on a squeaky, rattly bicycle too just for max efficiency.
