Solar / waterproof / recharging torch

[GNJC]

Has anyone out there used one of the solar-powered torchs that claim to be waterproof and able to charge 2 AA batteries? I have seen them priced from £15 up to £25. They would seem to be great kit, if all claims are true. If feedback is not forthcoming I'll get one and review it. I'll be using it in East Africa so the solar potential will be used to the full, more so than would be possible in the U.K.
