How do (American) football players handle cold weather?

…heated bench on the sideline, hand-warmers, and big old mittens…

Well I know they wear under armor sometimes. Like digitalimpression said, Quarterbacks normally wear hand-warmers and the heated bench does the trick for the teams on the sidelines.

@digitalimpression Good article. Thanks.

Adrenaline probably has somewhat to do with it as well. If you’re pumped up enough for the game, you won’t notice the cold so much.

Well, I’m no football expert, but I would imagine that there muscle and fat contributes quite a bit to staying warm. I mean, you’ve seen those guys. They’re huge! Again, I’m not expert.

@Seelix Like the shirtless fans in the stands, while others are bundled up against the cold. Maybe the body paint they use adds a coating of warmth?

There are heaters on the sidelines, they have hand warmers and they wear underlayers.

Thinking about their payday might help. $$$$$$$$$
