Lazy Collar
  (+3, -1)
(+3, -1) 		  [vote for,

Local definition of a lazy wind: "a wind that would rather go throo ya than go round ya" (must be spoken with a rough tongue to be authentic)

In the face of a lazy wind, I really don't want to take my hands out of my pockets, so I just press a button in the lining to activate my Lazy Collar.

Small pistons, discretely concealed under the collar, raise it to a fully upright position then act as angled supports, bracing it against that lazy wind.

       I have no interest in the collar, at this particular point in time. But where, pray tell, may one purchase this rough tongue of which you speak?

       I thought this would be a ball-bearing-mounted collar.

       Couldn't you just attach small airfoils to the collar? When the wind reaches a certain velocity the collars raise themselves.

       And when you take it off? Odour Humanity!
