how do people not immediately freeze when they skydive?

If it is so cold at the top of mountains, I’d assume it only gets colder, the closer you get to space? I started this post with the question ‘how do planes not freeze when they fly.’ Did a search and found that planes use heating elements. Did another search and found that skydiving can happen at the same general altitude as any other flight. So how do people not freeze when they jump out of planes?

The suits used when skydiving is quite warm. In addition it is common to wear a warm cap and gloves. The clothes can not keep someone warm at those altitudes for very long, but the skydivers do not plan on hanging out very long.
