My comfort range is mid 50s to low 60s. Below 40, I need to put on a sweater. Above 80, I literally have trouble thinking, and at 90 I’m a half step from being outright useless.

I’ve gone swimming in a hole we cut through the ice on a pond. Also, in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Maine in January.
I’m well insulated.
