Solar jackets that charge cell phones and iPods sold in Peru

Jackets that can be worn and at the same time charge your cell phone or mp4 are now being sold in Lima.
The Solar-JKT is a jacket that gives Limeans a natural way to charge their electronic devices.
The jacket was designed by an Italian brand known as Ermenegildo Zegna. When looking it for the first time it looks like a normal jacket. The difference is in the collar.
"A strip of cloth with solar cells can be attached to the area where the collar is," explained Mariella Tabini, head of Marketing for Designers, the company currently selling the jacket in Peru.
It was reported that the battery takes from four to five hours to fully charge.
Once at maximum strength it can keep a cellular phone on for up to 45 hours on standby and 35 minutes in use.
MP3s and iPods can be charged for up to an hour of use, said El Comercio daily.
Desingers has imported three of these jackets to Lima and has already sold one. The price is currently set at $1,400.
