This vest is probably not something you would wear if you’re even remotely worried about fashion. However, if you really just couldn’t possibly care any less, it would be useful. It is a solar vest, which would be blatantly obvious to anyone around you, purely due to the giant bold white lettering that states “SOLAR VEST”. That was kind of them to add that, just in case anyone should get confused.It has a total of four solar panels on the back of it, that are completely weather proof. So you won’t have to worry about dodging rain drops when you’re out wearing it. It also has 5V, 6V, 9V and 12-20V ouputs. It has light indicators to let you know how much of a charge is available, when the light is green it has more than 80% power built up, orange is between 30% and 70%. Then if it actually lights up red it has less than 30%. You can purchase the vest for $140

While you’re out traveling, especially if it’s in the great outdoors, your gadgets don’t always get the charge they really need. Which makes having a solar panel around extremely helpful. Well with this, not only would you have a way to charge your gadgets, but something to store them in as well. Be it while you’re out camping or just going from work to home, this would make things a little more convenient and not to mention eco-friendly. The solar panel has overcharge, discharge and short circuit protection, so it will last a bit longer. It will charge your typical cellphone in under 5 hours, that of course depends on the battery capacity though. It will also charge things such as your MP3 player, portable game consoles and various other small gadgets. The bag comes with a USB adaptor as well as 3 mobile phone adaptors for Nokia phones, Samsung and Sony-Ericsson. As far as solar bags go this isn’t actually priced too badly. You can purchase it for £14.99 or about $25 fromMaplin.
