For many of us, our goal is to pack as lightly as possible. One way to do that is to use travel gadgets that actually serve more than one purpose.
How about a solar-powered…backpack? That’s right, you can carry all your gear and charge your devices with a backpack that’s equipped with solar panels, from companies like Voltaic and Birksun.
A company called Satechi makes a portable router that boosts your Wi-Fi connection when you travel. It also works as a travel adapter and USB charger, so you can keep your devices charged at the same time.
The Mophie Space Pack is an iPhone case that charges your phone, giving you double the battery life. It also comes with built-in storage to keep extra photos and videos that may not fit on your smartphone.
