With all the photographic moments on the road, it’s easy to fly through your smartphone’s battery charge in a short period of time. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a battery with you as you go so you could have it up and running again in no time? Well, the GoPax Backpack has you covered.

 

Solar-Gear provides an array of batteries and compatible packs that charge by the sun. The GoPax has a back compartment for your solar-powered battery that leaves a clear, plastic barrier, which will allow the sun’s rays to seep through and give it a charge.

 

Not only that, but they’ve conveniently added a two-liter capacity water bladder with an easy-fill lid and neoprene-insulated hose. Your water will stay cool no matter what weather you’re dealing with.

 

The bag itself is made with ballistic-grade nylon and Kevlar stitching, meaning it’s some pretty heavy-duty stuff that can take a beating.

 

The USB tri-cord system of the pack is water resistant and contains a 11200MAH & 2.1A output, allowing it to hold enough charge to reboot your phone up to six times. You’ll never miss a text or prime photo op again.

 

There are actually a few packs to choose from, but the GoPax 2.0 currently retails for $199.99.
