For the hardcore EcoGeek, who needs a rugged, zero-emissions method of charging a plethora of devices on long-term wilderness excursions...we have a the all-weather solar roll.

The solar rolls come with a plethora of plugs and can be linked for a power boost. It looks like, in full sun, you can charge a laptop off of one of these babies and it rolls up to considerably less than the size of a thermarest.

Of course, it'll also cost you considerably more, $399 at Amazon.
