Yeah i'm real happy with my solar panel. I bought it from a fasttech for 20 bucks. It weighs 4.5 ounces. (the same as most battery banks) with the volt/amp meter it was 5.5 ounces. Complete with cables, camera charger and doodads, it's 8 ounces,Oldjoints wrote:Are you satisfied with your choice of solar panel? I am interested in something of this nature
to take with me when camping.
That backpack looks damn heavy for a long trek....

Note it's practical in-field wattage is 3.5W.
It work flawlessly, even after getting some nasty scratches on it. it's durability was a strong point for hiking.
I recommend it! It still working at home keeping my phone charged, never plugged the phone in a wall socket, ever. which i find so coool!
Ah ya noticed, Yep that is an awful heavy pack( i'm too old for this shit), this is a party hike for me, with all the xtras, Camera, ereader, music and all the electronics, a frame pack for comfort in camp and on the trail, separate day pack for the numerous day hikes i have planned (such as mnt Lassen.), camp shoes and whatnots. it adds up.
but the size is needed for the food for a few of my longer stretches of 10 days and longer.
