Stuff We Like: January 2010

Highgear Solarpod
Clip the Highgear Solarpod ($50) to your pack or jacket while you ski, bike, hike or otherwise play outside. After eight hours soaking up sunlight, it’ll be fully charged. Use one of the eight connector tips (additional tips can be purchased) to transfer power to your phone, iPod or other devices while you’re in the field. Or use the USB cable to charge the solar pod on a computer, so it’s ready to go when you are. An LED charge indicator tells you how much juice is available. highgear.com
