Ear Bags!

How could you ever live without these?

Swedish ingenuity at work.

(caution: may cause you to spit coffee all over your monitor)

Well, you're from California, Joe. These products aren't that bad of an idea... hats give you hat hair, and only so many people can look good in a hat. It's a challenging process to find a nice hat. Also, ear muffs are better for the hair thing, but can still flatten it and look dorky.

Ear bags, though... no problems with your hair and keep your ears warm. Perfect for those long, cold walks to the bars downtown where you can't wear a hat (due to hat hair) or ear muffs (dork factor, flattens hair)... and they easily fit in your pocket! Amazing!

Meagicano--- Are you high? These ARE ear muffs! Without the band, I grant you, but c'mon!

Aw crud...

I searched and searched but I couldn't find the one featuring the built-in orgasmatron that the website models are (obviously) wearing.

Look for earbags in your next ersatz sci-fi movie -- they will go so well with the monochrome unisex coverall of the future. "Space 1999" here we come (there we went?).

Bottle Cap Tripod!

This will appeal to your inner cheapskate.

Boom Boom Multi-Box!

OK, so you have your portable CD player or iPod or whatever along and it's really nifty to listen to tunes with headphones on long bus rides.

But what if you and your new-found pals wanna listen to tunes back at the guesthouse? Or at the beach? Got twenty bucks? Get one of these.

Is it wrong that I think that the ear bags and bottle cap tripod are strokes of genius? I notice that critism of the ear bags comes from people who don't freeze their ears off on a daily basis: Vancouver, California, Texas, what do you know about ear warmth? I could see those as being a great complement to the toque on an extra cold day.

And there were times in London where the pPod would have been handy (if I happened to own an iPod).

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Neil, I felt the same way. Toques ruin hair, and earmuffs have that stupid band that also gets in the way. Ear bags do NOT.

I'm glad that another Canadian who also lives in cold parts of the country agrees with me... Piecar's in Vancouver. I've had a BC winter. I recall a sprinkling of snow, lots of rain and minimal cold weather gear.

Given my receding hair line, I need a toque to keep my forhead warm, and don't have all that much hair to worry about. My problem is that the base of my ears is left exposed, and when it gets down into the -20 and lower range, that's a problem. I figure a set of ear bags with a toque on top of them would leave both my ears and my head warm.

When I lived in Vancouver, me and my roomates cracked out the shorts and headed down to the beach whenever it stopped raining, even in February.

The wife of my survival teacher used a variation of that(solid plastic) during a trip through the peruvian amazon, on boat.
Looks stupid, but it does work!!
