My other solar-powered cloak is at the dry cleaner.

Anker is showing off a concept that it calls the “world’s first wearable solar panel.” Like its solar umbrella product, the cloak uses perovskite solar cells, with 30W maximum input and USB-C output to charge your phone. The LED strips make it very Blade Runner chic, and I can confirm that it’s quite warm. Not sure how much use I’d get out of it in Seattle though...
