In The Bag
Surf company O’Neill just raised the bar with its soon-to-come H2 series backpacks. Solar panels steal the sun’s energy and recharge your audio player, cellphone and anything else with a USB connection. There’s also a compartment made for iPods that can be controlled from a panel on the shoulder strap. Lastly, the freakin’ thing incorporates Bluetooth technology, wirelessly connecting all your devices together and letting you make hands-free phone calls. Available next fall. www.oneill.com.
