Watching the Dolphins/Chiefs game and some of those players had bare arms… how do they not get frostbite or lose feeling in limbs?

If your physically exterting yourself your body produces a lot of energy. 

Also, probably a lot of these replies are coming from people in moderate climates who don’t get that 0C isn’t actually that cold. I’ve done a 1.5 hour running race at about -10C in shorts and a T-shirt. No frostbite risk while I’m moving.
