People who wear winter coats now aren’t going to feel the benefits of coat when it’s a lot colder

It’s 16c today and see many people wearing padded/quilted coats now. They are going to feel colder wearing this when it’s 6c max.
I doubt it’s about cost.

Different people feel the cold differently. In the winter people who feel the cold will layer up more under their coat/ wear thicker jumpers or thermals.

I’ve never believed this.

You feel the benefit at any temperature.

Why are you bothered what coats other people wear? They probably layer up more when it's colder.

They might have a thicker coat?

It will still keep them warm.
