Meanings
plural overheaters
- An individual who tends to feel too hot.
Don't think that technical features and concern about breathability is only for super-techno-dweebs, backcountry skiers, and serious overheaters.
1994 December, Skiing, volume 47, number 4, page 2121 more example
A crewneck works well for overheaters and warm spring days; turtlenecks keep warmth in and snow out; and zippered turtlenecks are the most versatile. There are varying fabric thicknesses to choose from on the market.
