Ive worn shorts nonstop for 14 years, legs don't get cold when walking.
Some people feel the cold and some dont
Wait untill you get old, and then you will see if shorts were a good idea.

I'll put two layers under my RM polo shirt and wear a down coat under my anorak. Always nice and warm. May appear a bit extreme but I hate being cold!!!!
Blimey you must have to strip off before you go out on delivery,to put all your underlayers on then get dressed again. Surely you can't prep up for 2hrs in all that kit, unless your office is freezing!

Funny that, i've never seen a Chris Bonington or Ranulph Fiennes up K2 or the Artic in shorts.Maybe if Green boots on Everest had followed your logic he might have survived instead of being a marker post.
Never seen a footballer wearing trousers either
Not many football matches go on for 5hrs+ either.
