How quickly will you actually freeze in space?

I'm trying to throw together a Template for a TL10 spacer pantropic genetic mod... but when I stated to check out what would be needed in terms of Temperture Tolerance, I could not find any detailed data.

Assuming that the Black-Body temerature would be under 200K. Also these people would be more likely to work in the shadow. Also assuming that I would like them to be able to comfortably bear a space environment for about two hours.

From what I've been reading on wiki/NASA... it seems that overheating might be an even bigger concern...

Also consider that the genemods would be using the Doesn't Breathe (Oxygen Storage) advantage, along with Nictitatating Membrane.... thus there would be little moisture escape unless it's needed for cooling.

-------

So how long does it take for body tempature to drop? After two hours what levels of Temperature Tolerance would be needed? Would I need to be more concerned with overheating?
