If you've normally got a few gadgets in your bag, why wait until you get home to charge them up? Eclipse Solar has a line of messenger bags with built in solar panels. You get to look stylish, charge your gear, and lighten your home electric bill all at the same time. How cool is that?

Prices range from $130 to $270. Each bag contains a solar panel, as 12V charging outlet, and over 1000 inches of cubic space. The solar panels provide up to 2.5 Watts of power.
