CVFR-S09 Solar Vest Recharge Your iPod and Alienate People At the Same Time

If you are having trouble with excess popularity, good looks, and
general coolness, and the pocket protector isn't doing it for you, I
think I have just the thing. I believe I may have stumbled upon the
quintessential geek garment. This thing enables you to accomplish two
things. You can harness the power of the sun to charge electronics and
look like a complete idiot at the same time.

I wasn't able to track down the source of this brilliant combination of
haut couture and eco-friendly charging, but I think it's safe to say
that it was born in the land of the Great Wall. The CVFR-S09 Solar Vest
combines the hideously bad look of a tan fisherman's vest with the
equally bad look of four solar panels strewn across the back. I can't be
sure what really sets this one apart from the rest. Maybe it's the fact
that anyone wearing it is almost guaranteed to remain alone. Maybe it's
the words Solar Vest embroidered across the back. Either way, I'm
pretty sure that even Napoleon Dynamite would be embarrassed to wear
this thing. This pic says it all -
This vest is equipped with four solar panels that can be used to charge
your gadgets. The panels are even removable so that you can set them in
the window to recharge while you're inside. That makes it all OK,
doesn't it? The fact that someone can hold up to eight gadgets in their
vest and recharge each of them - one at a time - is somehow both sad and
weird. At $140, you just can't go right. Now drop that quantum mechanics
textbook and head over to www.chinavision.com before they're all gone.
