What a DRSKIN fleece lining does in the cold, and what it does not

A brushed inside face holds still air against the skin. That is the mechanism, and it is the whole of what we will claim. What the public guidance on cold work asks for instead, why no garment here carries a temperature rating, and how to build the layers over it.
