I finally 'get it'.
Why people wear these things - its so that you can cocoon your extremeties in dry and warm air. Keep the cold wind out, protect yourself against the horizontal stinging cold rain.
These items of clothing are not for dress ups or for really cold winters in the sub-tropics of Queensland!
The other trick to the cold windy rainy weather is knowing how to wrap your scarf for maximum coverage - I'm not adverse to the head bandage / neck wrap combo popularised by school marms in the 50's. I no longer suffer from dress-up shame when I put on m,y gloves in the morning... and its only about 7 degrees in the morning - plenty of mercury to drop before Christmas!
