* Averted by Aurora from ''ComicBook/AlphaFlight''. When she donned a skimpy white and yellow costume to differentiate herself from her [[HalfIdenticalTwins Half-Identical Twin]] brother Northstar, she had a second costume for winter/Arctic missions that appropriately covered her while still emphasizing her figure.

* Characters/{{Batman|TheCharacter}}, [[ComicBook/Robin1993 Red Robin]], Characters/{{Nightwing|DickGrayson}}, [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Black Bat]] and ComicBook/{{Robin}} generally appear to wear the same costumes regardless of weather but they make a point to mention their winter costumes are more insulated and have built-in heaters, though they do sometimes mention that the heat can be miserable in their costumes. Spoiler once commented how nice it was to be able to cling to ComicBook/{{Robin|1993}} in the cold since his heated suit made him like her personal heater since her suit was emphatically ''not'' suited for the weather they found themselves in.
* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' villain Mr. Freeze has the reverse problem. He ''needs'' to be at sub-zero temperatures to survive. When he's forced to spend time at the North Pole, he enjoys the opportunity to walk around without his bulky armor and is dressed like he's at the beach.

* Aside from wearing her [[{{Stripperiffic}} typical, revealing "costume"]] even in inhospitable climates, ''Characters/{{Elektra}}'' has more than once been forced out into snowy conditions wearing as little as a barely-covering bra and underwear. Although there's usually a [[HandWave bit of internal monologue]] about her extensive training having made her resistant to feeling the cold, she ''is'' still human and is in a rush to get out of the current situation before frostbite or the like sets in.

* The MageSpecies in ''[[Literature/HisDarkMaterials The Golden Compass]]'' live in cold climates and wear relatively little. Although they feel the cold, they know it won't harm them, so they put up with it in order to better communicate with nature.

Then old Pepe Pimpo would come rolling up...He’d be wheeling a heated chrome machine with thermopane windows and be dressed in ear flaps and furs like Nanookie of the North...There was something a bit once told me.

* Creator/EdgarRiceBurroughs loved this trope. In the ''Literature/JohnCarterOfMars'' novels, despite living on a cold world, his Martians still run around naked, or close to it. The yellow-skinned Okarians who live up in the far north are the only exception, wearing heavy cloaks.

** Mostly averted in the various manga shorts, TV episodes, and movies, but an unintentional moment occurs in ''The Genius Nobita's Airship Amusement Park'' (a 2005 TV special). The gang visits the titular amusement park, located atop a futuristic CoolAirship, only for a hostile takeover to break out when the villain Jester and his RobotClown army capture everyone. Shizuka, being the BathingBeauty she is, was abducted in the ''middle'' of her bath and spends a big chunk of the special in a two-piece bathing suit (in contrast, Nobita and the boys are fully clothed) - including the climax, atop the airship's upper deck when it is ''flying through clouds, in the middle of a storm''. No, there isn't a forcefield on the deck, there is a RainAura on everyone. Somehow it doesn't seem to affect Shizuka in any way.

* ''VideoGame/DangerGirl'' for UsefulNotes/PlayStation uses this trope, then throws it in the player's face. First, the loading screen for the stage shows Abbey Chase in a slinky, extremely sheer evening gown, out in the snow. Then, right after the obvious Fanservice, she immediately begins complaining about the cold and taking damage, and the player has to very ''quickly'' find warm clothes before she freezes to death.

** The last two stages from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' are explicitly in the Antarctic (one in a speeding vehicle with an open rear hatch, the other out in the snow). None of the characters bother with a coat ([[WalkingShirtlessScene to]] [[{{Stripperiffic}} say]] [[SleevesAreForWimps the]] ''least''), and roughly a fourth are not even wearing shoes. A cutscene for the UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation Vita}} version plays with it: the vast majority of the characters play it straight, except for Blanka. Following behind Sakura (in her usual uniform), Blanka is wrapped up in several scarves like a mummy and is freezing his ''ass'' off.
