Bags

Bags provide another platform for the integration of new functionalities, all the way from iPOD controls, solar charging and internal illumination.

iPOD control is similar to that installed in jackets, but generally the bags are also fitted with in-built loud speakers so the bag can be used as an impromptu 'boombox'.

Solar charging bags generally use flexible amorphous silicon solar cells linked to electronics which condition the charge to enable recharging of small mobile electronics.
