Not at all doubting you, because I'm pretty sure I'm having the same experience... But that's just dumb.

It's all over the place with its functionality. There are moments where it does keep me warm during winter. And then there's times where there's no snowfall but suddenly I'm cold and wet. Sitting near a fire or using a torch for like 5 seconds warms me back up and I'm no longer cold and wet while exploring. Then it's a rinse and repeat of this. I'm assuming this isn't working properly.

I defended it the other day because I tested it in the snow area but yesterday we had winter on the beach and I noticed it wasn't working.

You might be on to something here.

thats 100% dumb, its a winter coat, but doesnt work in winter?

Ahktually if you look into the game files you can see that it gives you 2% frost resistance hence stop complaining. The game is being developed by a small indie studio from canada which made BARELY 200 million dollars from their last game. It will totally get fixed in the next patch within a week guise. Trust the plan etc etc

And this is STILL the case... No normal gameplay bugfixes imo. A lot new content and story fixes, but stuff that is bothering throughout the entire time playing is still as it was.

Try taking it off and see what happens.
I don't think a coat is meant to make you immune to the weather.

For anyone interested, I detailed exactly how the cold mechanics function and why the winter jacket doesn't feel like it's working in post #175 here:

Impressive, yet indicative of them needing to rework it. On one side, the player has no indication of how warm the character feels. On the other side, coldness and loss of stamina sets in immediately from nothing to the maximum value according to the factors. There is no gradual cooling down over multiple minutes, it happens within 2-3 seconds.

More over, cold and wet always come together. I can stand inside my dry building and can get cold and wet just because it's winter season, even if it isn't snowing. No only does the game not detect if you're indoors or outdoors, it also does not differentiate between being cold or cold and wet.

As much as I enjoy the content updates, it's far from being polished and amongst many bugs, there are also a lot of shortcuts in game mechanics they implemented.

If you managed to set up your building that it counts as "shelter" you immediately get warm when entering.

But the shelter system has its flaws...

True, the system definitely needs to be looked at and adjusted. I had made another suggestion that air temperature should be displayed on the GPS so we'd have a better idea of how much thermal protection we would need at any point. Air temperature lowers with elevation so the higher up you go cold effects will set in even if you aren't wet. I really think fire should be what reduces wetness and not shelter. There are strict rules for construction that dictates what the game considers shelter and even these rules I've found to be inconsistent. Other than shelter, it can take a long time in clear weather to dry off and your stamina to return to normal, but it's even likely it will start snowing again before that point and you're screwed again anyway. If they change snowy weather to increase wetness over the course of in game hours rather than real life seconds, and make fires dry you off, the system would feel much better.

I have everything covered with a roof but kept a covered opening over the furnace as chimney. Guess I'll have to close it shut. But I've also noticed under the pitched roof segments, there is still snow. They are 100% built but it doesn't recognize it.

Ironically, I was staying at the top of the mountain for over 5 minutes with the winter jacket and got no cold effects. As I was ziplining down and reached my house which is right at the snow border, I got the frost and wet effect within 1-2 minutes max as it was winter.

I really am looking forward to see shelter improvements, some things I might have to rework on my house though. But I support your idea with the temperature on the GPS.
