This is the same concept as a convection oven.
Cold, but still air? You're going to form a little heat bubble around you that makes it less bad. But as soon as a moderate breeze comes through, you lose that heat bubble. If you're wearing wind resistant clothes, you still have the layer of warm air at your skin.
This is also why blowing on your food cools it off faster. You blow away that protective heat bubble.
