I suspect some of you have already expended skull sweat on PV cells for use recharging your stuff while out in the woods.
I'm interested in finding either a cloth backed folding or roll-up PV set up, should be able to charge 2 or more AA Sanyo/Enloops to full charge in 4-6 hours, work in full sun OR overcast/cloudy weather, have a USB port, and be at least water/rain resistant if not actually waterproof. I'd actually prefer it not have a built in battery pack ('cause some day it's going to go bad and then I'm stuck with it), but I could live with it if everything else was good.
I've run across some folding cells from Powerfilm, and one of their models is on sale for about 4 bucks, but it's not quite there...close but no cigar.
So Hive Mind, what products do you suggest?
*fake edit*
If anyone knows of a packable sized spring powered DC generator/battery charger that would be a bonus. Think of the original Baygen radios (the one's with no batteries).
