Why are you warmer with several layers of clothes than a heavy jacket?
It is known as the layering system. Several thin layers trap more insulating air between the layers. If you start to sweat, you take off a layer or two to cool down, and put the layers back on to warm up again. If you take off a heavy jacket, you will not have the layers underneath to prevent chilling. Usually, a heavy jacket means either being too hot or too cold when active outdoors.
