It looks like a regular jacket, but this one has serious voltage--a solar panel on the back charges iPods, phones, X-boxes and laptops, all on the go.


 


Designed for mobile-types who don't wanna waste time searching for an outlet 1, a cable inside the jacket runs from the panel to a battery inside the pocket, there 8 different plug-ins accommodate electronic devices that can be charged up wherever there is sunshine.


 


Designer Julieta Gayoso-- "The idea is precisely 2 that today technology is more and more mobile. It has the freedom of wireless 3 connection. But when batteries run out, you have to plug into the grid 4. So this is a way to have mobile energy, and of course it's clean."


 


Gayoso’s Indarra clothing line based in Argentina includes pants and jackets with built-in controls to skip songs or pump up the volume. Wirelessly 5 connecting with an iPod at the bottom of a backpack. Clothes that do double duty, keeping you warm and listening to that favorite song. Well, at least as long as it doesn't rain.
