Solar Power Clothing Collection Charges Your USB Gear
Just last week, we reported on a solar panel which rotates with the sun to optimize charging time and power. Today we bring you another method to recharge your life, but this time wearing clothes. Silvr Lining is a start up clothing company which integrates solar panels into your every-day cloths.
The style Silvr Lining embraces is that of a casual fit – as it would be difficult to integrate solar panels into a bikini or fitted top.
The company integrates several 6 x 8 panels into the outside of pocket panels so the lock blends with the style.
The solar panels are the right size to charge most any small USB gadget like MP3 player, phone or PDA device. It also appears the pockets are big enough you might just fit that iPad which is so awkward to carry around.
The solar power pants from Silvr Lining run just under $300. The company is based in Los Angeles and all cloths are made in the USA. Not sure how fashion conscience you are, but if you are a bit adventurous and hip to going green, this will do it.
