>solar charger external pocketNot even sure if I should put this in, but it would be pretty cool, especially for extended/chained trips with a lot of on-foot time. Headlamp, flashlight, gas meter, gps all have cable-charging options, so would be necessary. Got the idea from those ridiculously expensive brands that nobody could ever possibly wear outside for fear of dirt (and probable ridicule for looking like a cosplayer). Anyways—would basically be a pocket on chest or upper back (could just repurpose existing pocket if I want to spring for a good charger that's small enough) with a cut-out just large enough for the panel, with a sheet of fine mesh or plastic sewn+glued in. If I do mesh, might add a reinforcing strip or two of webbing/cordage, just to be sure it doesn't fall out or anything. Other attachment options include Velcro glued to the charger back/edges and sewn to inside of pocket, and clasps/hooks+loops directly attached to jacket AND charger (in which case I wouldn't need to have the pocket at all). Regardless of all that, I want to have a flap of cloth (preferably padded) that rolls/folds down over the screen when not in use, to protect it.
