Cowboy gear was outdoor working gear, this is completely believable if the guy was in actual work clothes.

Y'all just city af.

What makes it dumb is that the clothing described wouldn't have been what kept them warm and unfazed, that would be the layers underneath the made up cowboy's attire.

What makes it silly is that cowboys exist across the very snowy north and have since cowboys have existed anywhere.

A cowboy hat, banana, a duster, and boots is how i understood the description which is warm weather garb.

You're just too city to understand that.

Bro never heard about long johns and thinks dusters are exclusively warm weather gear 💀

(Also the description specifically mentions a poncho, not a duster, but ponchos are also useful for cold weather)

Ah yes, the classic winter garb: a ~~duster~~ poncho and a cowboy hat. Lmao
