Charles works for The Portable Light Project, Timbuk2′s partner on the FLAP Bag. In the images below, Charles is showing off how the FLAP bag’s LED can be worn on-strap to light the way, rather than just illuminating a space. Bike Messengers may be into this.
Don’t need a light? The FLAP bag is rigged with a USB port which enables you to charge USB-compatible devices like cameras and cell phones. If you don’t want or need to charge a device, the solar panels will hold the charge for later use or to power the bag’s attached LED light. See the FLAP in action below.
The FLAP’s LED light used on-strap. May be a hit for bike messengers.
The FLAP’s LED light is incredibly bright. You can reflect it off the FLAP itself for diffuse light or use it as a direct light.
