This unique solar bag absorbs the sun's energy through a solar panel and turns it into electric energy. Embedded in the outside of the bag is a lightweight, tough, waterproof solar panel which will generate up to 2.7 watts of power. Included in the bag is a battery pack which stores any surplus power generated, so it is available when you need it, not just when the sun is up. The power bank can also be charged by using an AC travel or car charger. Ni-MH battery charges in 6-8 hours (via solar) or 2-2-1/2 hours (via a/c charger) and has a maximum output of 5.8V DC (400mAh) and a capacity of 1200mAh.

It's compatible with most small mobile devices through corresponding connectors and includes universal plugs for different types of cell phones.

The additional two items appear meant more for home or office use, not so much to take along in the backpack for outdoor use: The stereo headset is great with your laptop or PC to deliver high-performance stereo sound from music, games, movies, and more, and features a noise-canceling microphone that is perfect for the use of voice chat and voice command. The USB-powered cup warmer with a 4 port hub can keep a drink warm while powering other USB devices.

The backpack is the main feature of this package, and if you have a need for some extra power while traveling, backpacking or camping, this might be an interesting solution.
