There is widespread misconception regarding heat loss through oneâs head. You have probably heard one or more of these myths: If your feet are cold, cover your head. You can lose up to 75% of your body heat through your head alone. Although 13-16% of the blood volume is in the head at any given time it is a very exposed structure. The problem is that the head is only about 10% of the body surface area. Thus, the head would have to lose about 40 times as much heat per square inch or centimeter compared to the rest of the body. Wilderness Medicine took volunteers, wired them to monitor their core temperatures, and discovered we lose heat through any exposed part of the body and the amount of heat we lose depends on the amount of exposed surface area.
