Sometimes good ideas are not worth it, no matter how well it may work. Decapitating someone to cure a nose bleed is effective and efficient, but it is a bad idea. This Solar Vest from Chinavision might be one of those really bad good ideas.

Imagine a vest that could not only hold all of your gadgets, but charge them as well. If you ever found yourself without pant pockets or outlets, this would be a must-have, but I think must of us have access to pockets and plugs. This solar vest, which runs $140, comes complete with a 8,800mAh-capacity battery that is charged via the four solar panels across its back, enough pockets for a small Radio Shack inventory, and the words "Solar Vest" emblazoned across the back. I can't imagine this being very popular with the ladies, but who needs a girlfriend when your iPod or iPhone will never run out of charge.

If you are a survivalist, or an avid camper, this is the vest for you. If you are a metropolitan gadget hound, you may want to skip it. It is available from Chinavision for $140. Who knows, if there is a Zombie Apocalypse, then I am going to feel really stupid if I don't have one of these. Maybe I should get one.
