Voltaic Solar Bag

What it is:
The Voltaic™ solar bags are mobile power generators, designed to charge your devices without tying you to a power outlet, which makes them ideal for traveling.
Just plug a standard car charger into the bag and recharge most small electronic devices including: cell phones, cameras, two way radios, PDA's, and MP3s. Note: it is not designed to charge laptops.
If you don't have a car charger, the bags come with a set of 11 standard adaptors for common cell phones and other devices.

Embedded in the outside of the bags are three lightweight, tough, waterproof solar panels which generate up to 4 watts of power. This means quicker charge times!
Inside each bag is a Li Ion battery pack which stores any surplus power generated, so it is available when you need it- not just when the sun is up. The battery pack can also be charged using an AC travel charger or car charger (both included). This makes the Voltaic™ bags just as useful on the grid as off.

Best Feature:
What I was most impressed with was how light this bag was. With all those gadgets I thought it would be a drag to carry around but it actually feels just like a regular heavy duty backpack. The panels only weigh 12 ounces! The negative is the amount of direct sunlight you need to fully charge your electronics. See chart below
