I love solar-power! The Voltaic Backpack is an amazing piece of work. Not only is it solar-powered, but the bag itself is manufactured from 100% recycled PET products (like plastic bottles). I had been hankering to purchase one for quite the while, but the $200 pricetag always dissuaded me.
Fortunately, right now Rad-Tech has a 20% off promo code. This can chop off upwards of $60 from the price of your Voltaic backpack.
I decided to bite the bullet and purchase the 15.5 inch DayPack. Even with the discount, the pricetag is $159.96. This is quite the chunk of change, so what moved me to take the plunge? Mainly, I read several reviews. The most notable and convincing review was Gizmodo’s review from three years past. The writer’s detail of the daily functional use that I too would implement, coupled with my desire to be friendly with the earth, contributed to my decision to purchase.
Treehugger’s review was also quite affecting, bringing out possible comfort problems for women. All things considered, the benefits of the gorgeous bag appeared to outweigh the flaws, and I’m willing to forgo 100% comfort for power conservation and aiding in the reduction of air pollutants.
Redeem your Rad-Tech promo code soon, as the sale supposedly ends shortly.

Glad you found it useful, Shani! I’ve been using my bag a bit and positively adore it. I will throw my other bags to the secondhand store!
