So, Polo has come out with backpacks that contain solar panels to charge your electronic gear. Really? Certainly not the first name in high-tech or “Green” for that matter, the fashion giant is making a stab at an innovative product line that could prove to be fairly popular amongst co-eds and the like. These useful solar-powered backpacks will power your gadgets while on the move. The Ralph Lauren RLX backpack offers a pretty large solar panel built in to the back of the backpack, one that the company says can charge a phone in around two hours. The backpack itself is water-resistant, with several pockets and ample storage space, and it can generate a 3.45 watt current, which is enough for most any mobile device or handset. It’s available in two colors, black and orange, is made in Italy, and will run you a steep $795. Pretty nifty.
