Unix admins: Meet the Beard Head
With a beard and 'stache warmer built in to your hat, you can keep warm and look, well, beardy.
I arrrrrrrrrr cold!
(Credit: Mike Karikas)Some of you have beards. I know, I've seen them. Now, I know this isn't a gadget per se, but it's not fashion, either. It's got a function. You need to protect and care for your beards, lest you lose your Linux admin superpowers.
Meet Beard Head, the hat that gives you a warm layer of artsy hair to cover your face in the cold.
Anyone looks good in one, or at least hairier.
(Credit: Matt Hickey)My editor mentioned these to me and I jumped at the chance to write about them as my friend Michael Karikas just got a Beard Head and wore it out a couple nights ago. Being me, I had my camera and took photographs.
Michael actually wears it snowboarding, so his is for Serious Business, but anyone in a cold area could benefit from the warmth a beard and 'stache can provide. They come in four styles: Lumberjack (brown), Viking (yellow), Pirate (black), and Grandpa (gray), and only cost $24.99.
That may seem high to some of you, but having handled one of these things I can attest to how well-made they are. Not only that, but they're customizable. For $4.99 more, you can make the 'stache a fu manchu-style, with more styles coming soon. I'm looking forward to the Mario version.
