    I mean it looks cool, but come on!

    Short sleeves? The outfit looks warm and weather proof, but the short sleeves make no sense: when it’s warm enough for short sleeves it’s too warm for this outfit.

    Or the other way around, if it’s the right weather for this kind of clothing (cool, rainy) the short sleeves will be absolute horrible.

      You don’t need to keep your entire body warm, you just need to keep enough of it warm for homeostasis, and ironically enough most modern clothing don’t address the greatest loss of heat, that active airflow system we call breathing. A simple COVID helps keep the heat tank that is your moisture from getting lost to the ambient air .

      I mean, this outfit is clearly for cosplay, but keeping your sleeves short means being able to move your arms more freely and helps your skin from becoming damp swamp. It would have its uses even in cold weather.
