For me today, mainly my clothing, and living in a warmed house. These things enable me to live in a sub alpine zone. In summer my body is not much challenged by the heat, but even then at nightI need clothing or bed clothes. But I don't have much subcutaneous body fat. Women on the average are better insulated by body fat than men.
