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, 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 that today technology is more and more mobile. It has the freedom of wireless connection. But when batteries run out, you have to plug into the grid. 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 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.
