      If you say so. Lance got his famous look from surgery and radiation treatment for throat cancer in 2001, thereby losing his salivary glands and teeth and becoming extremely cold-sensitive.
      THEN he went on to win the Iditarod 4 YEARS IN A ROW.
      Meanwhile, you're sitting around commenting on a TV show.

    Lance is a living breathing miracle. In 2001 he was diagnosed with throat cancer. "The radiation from the treatments also destroyed his saliva glands, causing his teeth to disintegrate."(Wikipedia) Yet he went on to win the Iditarod 4 years in a row, all the while super-sensitive to cold as a result of the treatments.

      "Bunny boots", or vapor barrier boots. They have a layer of air between two rubber shells. Super warm, but don't breathe at all. You can't see them well in the video, but they have valves on the outsides of the ankles - you have to unscrew the valves to let the air out if you're flying in an unpressurized or partially pressurized aircraft, or the air in the boots will expand and get too tight on your feet, or damage the boots.
