Cannot remember if the study was stupid or if peoples interpretations of it where. But when covered up else where you will lose a lot of heat through your head. More so then if just an arm or just a leg was exposed as with your arms and legs your body will slow down blood flow through them to try and converse your core temperature - it cannot do that with your head.
I have heard that you lose the most heat through your head from multiple sources as well. That would make sense, because I’m pretty sure the brain uses the most energy among all organs.
Edit: Probably depends on how you measure it. Per cm²? Total area? The latter makes it more likely that you lose most heat through your torso.
Bin mir aber nicht sicher und lasse mich gerne eines besseren belehren.
You lose a lot of your hear through your head. “If your feet are cold, put on a hat” - camping advice
Wasn’t that a stupid study where they didn’t cover the heads and then concluded that people lost most of their heat through the head?

And the head has a large, thin surface with not much fat
Oh right, that’s a good point. It’s pretty much skin and skull, with no “isolation”.
