The 2026 Winter Olympics are underway in Italy. Athletes are drawing headlines, but some outrageous outfits worn by Team Canada are turning heads and stomachs. The bizarre garments have many unsure of exactly what they are looking at. One curious influencer secured an outfit for himself to see if he could unzip its mysteries.
Seriously, what is this thing? (WATCH - LANGUAGE WARNING)
In other Winter Olympics news, Lululemon's uniforms for Team Canada are... interesting. #ProtestManiahttps://t.co/JrOI3TxdH5 pic.twitter.com/NbPyWAtKiN

It's so easy to go all starry eyed "omg Mongolia! Stunning", every winter Olympics. But have you tried to figure out wth Canada is wearing? It's like a padded scarf with sleeve holes in it? pic.twitter.com/9sawY1mTOQ

A combo vest scarf! Just what nobody needed

Some are calling it a ‘Varf.’ But other posters have a better name that we’ll reveal in a bit.
Posters say you can't rely on the instructions that come with the interesting item.

Oh so it’s useless?!!! 😆😆😆
— Clerpatriot (@clerpatriot) February 8, 2026
You know it’s useless when it comes with instructions of “how to wear”…
— Joe (@djofadel) February 8, 2026
If you need instructions like this on how to wear it then the product is a complete failure.
— S (@sharinglung5) February 8, 2026
these instructions clarify nothing lol

They really don’t.
One commenter says that despite the difficulties of donning the garbled garb, they want to give it a go.
I don’t know but after watching that video I kind of want one…lol

What would u do with it?!! 😆
— Clerpatriot (@clerpatriot) February 8, 2026
Wear it on Halloween dressed up as a Tim Hortons employee.
— Jakez649 (@jakez649) February 8, 2026
Tim Hortons is a popular coffee and doughnut restaurant chain in Canada.
We think Tim Hortons has grounds to sue. Look at this.
Who wore it better? pic.twitter.com/95aMiHBM34

They are a walking coffee cup 😆
— Clerpatriot (@clerpatriot) February 8, 2026
We’ve heard of people being described as a ‘tall drink of water’ but not a ‘short cup of coffee.’
Another poster says the daring design took guts.
It's a model of the large and small intestine - pic.twitter.com/8rg1uK2axX

😂😂😂 that’s a visual I did not need!!
— Big Dog Mom (@MrsCzar23) February 8, 2026
It’s part blanket, part scarf……it’s a barf.
— AKG (@AKGagliano) February 8, 2026
Wind breaker or scarf? It's a barf!
— C D Fanshaw (@d_fanshaw) February 8, 2026
It’s definitely gut-wrenching. Can you imagine someone telling their friend to ‘grab my barf’ as they head for the door?
One commenter used Grok to find a use for the annoying attire. (WATCH)

Sadly, it has no back. You need to redo the video but he should be plunging to his death.
— Monica P 🚀🛸🪐💜🤍💛✗ (@monipridragon12) February 8, 2026
It can also be used as a makeshift burial shroud, if that’s the case.
Posters say the clothing designer Lululemon deserves all the blame.
If someone at Lululemon set out to create the ugliest team uniforms ever seen at the Olympics, they’ve succeeded. It’s embarrassing to appear on camera in front of the world wearing those outfits.

Lululemmon needs to jailed for this crime against humanity 😫😂

We’ll have to wait until Autumn. That’s when the orange one makes its seasonal debut.
