the folks @ SCOTT E VEST offer several different types of jackets that have a BUILT-IN SOLAR panel on the back for re-charging your cell phone battery (or ipod or mp3 player, etc,etc,etc)



This looks like a "smart clothing" item that might be in our future.

It looks like the vest (solar panel part) is (or can be) seperated from the jacket. That might be nice for ounce counters...

Sierra Trading Post has several models of the Brunton solar charges on discount right now.

One of those, some other electronic parts, a jacket, alittle ingenuity, and you could make your own for pennies. :D

Anyone notice it won't work when wearing a pack?

I'm going to wait and let Lone Wolf try it out first... I might be waiting a while.
