Eton FR500 Solarlink Radio
(Mark Wiens)

Just shy of two pounds, Etón's do-it-all FR500 Solarlink radio—outfitted with an AM/FM tuner, shortwave radio with NOAA weather band, emergency beacon and siren, LED flashlight, cell-phone charger, and clock—runs itself on built-in solar panels. No sun? It can also be powered by a hand crank, batteries, or AC. $80; etoncorp.com
