Inspired by Jean Beetham Smith's suggestion to wear modified socks on your ears to keep them warm, I decided to try to flip-flop the idea by wearing headwear 'down-under'.

I took my best balaklava (like a ski mask) and cut two holes in the sides. By slipping my legs through the cut-holes, I then had an enormous vent to "facilitate in the facilities".

You fellers know what I'm talking about; when you gotta go to the toilet really bad and you are struggling like mad with all the layers of clothing when you try to access your plumbing through the elusive vents in your long underwear AND briefs.

Well, my brilliant invention "Balaklava Briefs" solves that problem. The vent is as big as your head! You can't miss.
Worn backwards, the Balaklava Briefs are great for uhm, for you know... other end stuff.

Better yet, you can still wear your balaklava on your head even after using it as underwear. The cuts you made for leg holes allow for better access of your stereophones when you wear the balaklava on your head and want to listen to music during your ride or ski.

How do YOU spell Genius? Say it with me "M-I-K-E!!

Thanks go to Jean Beetham Smith for the insiration.
