[First Landing in Japan] Wait, it has a solar panel!? I want to get a new cowhide business backpack that can be charged

A solar panel-equipped backpack has landed in Japan from a well-established brand in the UK. Despite being a business type made of leather, it weighs only 1.1 kg. It can generate electricity as long as there is sunlight, making it a must-see for those who spend a lot of time outdoors!

The "THE SOLAR BAG" is stylishly wearable, appearing not to have a high-performance solar panel mounted on the bottom of the bag's surface. It secures a maximum power of 5.5W and a high cell conversion efficiency of 19.5–21%. It is equipped with IP65 equivalent waterproof and dustproof performance, allowing for use in light rain without any issues.

This solar panel is directly connected to a USB cable, making it possible to charge using the terminals located inside the bag. The terminals come in three types: Lightning, Micro-USB, and USB Type-C, with charging times estimated to be 3–5 hours for smartphones and 5–10 hours for tablets.

Inside the bag, there are multiple compartments to organize essential business items like a laptop storage space, A4-sized files, writing instruments, and wireless earphones. The high visibility and non-cluttered design allow for quick access even when busy.
