Chinavasion’s Choice: 5 Bags That Do More Than Carry Your Stuff

People have stuff. The stuff in question can be heavy or light, valuable or inexpensive, new or old – there are lots of paired adjectives that can be used to describe what we often carry around with us. The point is that we do and we often need something to carry our things in.

Bags, backpacks, fanny packs, purses, clutches, handbags – the fashion industry has given us lots of solutions to the issue – and so had technology.

In the post below we’ll take a look at a few bags that are a bit more than containers for our stuff and the extras they can offer

Thermal Bag with Solar Panel

Picnic? Hike? Nature outing with no purpose in mind? Whatever it is you have planned, you will need your energy – and thus a supply of snacks. A thermal bag will keep your drinks cold and your sandwiches fresh even if you are making your trip in the middle of a hot summer day.

But hold on, that’s not all. With a built-in solar panel, you will be able to use the hot summer sun to your advantage and charge your gadgets on the go. With a 2200 mAh backup battery, your smartphone will stay charged, your connection to civilization stable and you’re the lettuce in your sandwich crisp.

Camera Bag with Solar Panel

We like to believe that the primary reason we head out into nature (or fly to another country) is to find peace, gain experience and learn about a different culture. However, as reluctant as we may be to admit it, taking pictures is by far not the last reason on the list. That’s why our DLSRs often accompany us to the remote corners of the world to bear witness to our adventures and help us tell our story when we come back with visuals to back up our claims.

Your camera needs to be ready to go at a moment’s notice – as we never know when a picture-worthy moment will present itself. A camera bag with a solar panel will have your back and use the sun rays to charge up a 2200mAh battery and recharge your camera whenever needed.

Solar Battery Charger Backpack

Solar energy is definitely in this decade, as more and more accessories aim to enrich their good looks with practicality. With this bag you will be able to charge any gadget on the go: smartphone, camera, MP3 player, a game console and more – just say the word (that is, plug it in using one of the 6 connectors that come with the bag).

The built-in solar panel will be able to charge from sun rays outside, as well as any source of indoor light. So, no matter where you are, the risk of your gadgets running out of power will be approaching zero.

Portable Qi Standard Wireless Charging Denim Bag

On a different note, it’s not all about the Sun. Qi charging is making quite a name for itself in the mobile world, as we are constantly on the lookout for simple and stylish ways to keep our gadgets juiced up. If you have a Qi charging compatible phone, there are lots of options for you to explore, and this portable Qi standard wireless charging denim bag is one of them. It comes with a car adapter and lets you charge your smartphone by just sliding it into the bag. It’s fun, easy, hassle-free and a nice addition to your denim collection.

Mobile Phone Signal Blocking Bag

From charging to blocking – there are times when we need a break from calls and messages – and this small black bag offers just that. When you are worried that a call will distract you during an important meeting, make you seem impolite at a conference or interrupt an interesting conversation – just put your smartphone in the bag and your privacy and quiet are guaranteed. The best part is that you won’t have to fumble through your phone to turn it to silent mode and your phone will quiet down with a quick discreet movement.
