BAG
SoCal is the best place to be green, and there’s nothing greener than charging your iPhone or BlackBerry with solar energy with bags from ECLIPSE SOLAR GEAR (http://www.eclipsesolargear.com). Founded by a former Dell engineer, Eclipse SOLAR GEAR makes a range of bags including backpacks, messenger bags, even bicycle saddle bags all with solar panels and a cigarette lighter style socket to plug in your gear. Their newer bags all use a FLEXIBLE plastic solar panel that bends and doesn’t break and looks aswesome. Shoulder one of these and be prepared to get stopped by people asking “where did you GET that?". The answer? A few retailers like Macy’s and jr.com carry the bags but can’t keep them in stock.
