I do believe that a mistake was made in printing that 50% of your body heat is lost through your head. When learning wilderness first-aid we were taught that heat loss depended on the surface area exposed rather than the location. Heat loss through the head is more likely around 10-15%. I would agree that a hooded sleeping bag is far better because it will stop heat from escaping around your shoulders. Thanks! Thanks for the information.
