When it comes to prepping for summer travel, finding convenient, portable travel accessories is key. None of us want to schlep around a single ounce more than necessary, especially when we’re planning on occupying some of that precious suitcase space with goodies from our destination of choice.  Luckily, brands like Solio and Reware are making it easier for us to travel light and eco-friendly. Solio’s Classic Universal Hybrid Charger, which has received quite a bit of buzz over the past year or two, allows you to juice up a multitude of different devices at about the same rate it takes when they’re plugged into the wall. Because the $99 charger harnesses the sun’s energy rather than using traditional energy sources, you don’t have to worry about the carbon footprint of charging all of your must-have gadgets. And how many times have you left home, ready to relax over the next few days, only to stress because you left your iPod/cell phone/digital camera charger at home? This small, easy-to-carry charger does it all – no outlet needed.

Reware’s Juice Bags, which are made from recycled soda bottles and feature a large solar panel on their exteriors, are another convenient, green solution. Just plug your device of choice into the bag using the item’s car adaptor, and charge as you hike, bike, or explore.
