Review on πŸ•οΈ Camping Solar Panel 10W: Waterproof Foldable Travel Charger with USB Port by Josh Jeffries

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It works really well for solar and wind power

The main purpose of this product is campers and campers. To be effective there, it has to be light and not take up much space. It's pretty easy. It only weighs about a pound. It doesn't take up much space, but it takes up more than I'd like. If you can find a way to attach it to the back of your backpack that would be best. How does it work? Pretty good. Better than I expected. Here's the test I ran: 45 minutes of direct sunlight, afternoon, Arizona SummerTemp 110FC, cell phone with a 5000mAh battery. The result – the battery charge increased from 38% to 48%. . The mobile phone was not turned off to allow the panels to power the phone and charge the battery. Comes with a cable for charging. It wasn't very helpful to me. I don't have an iPhone and my phone doesn't have a micro USB format. It doesn't matter as the device has two USB-A ports, so you can use any cable you like with it. I will say that the core they give you is braided and appears to be of decent quality. They also give you two small hiking clips. They fit into the corner holes they make on each panel. They allow you to attach this panel to your backpack vertically, horizontally or whatever you like. It's unreliable from a design point of view, but that doesn't bother me. I know they went this route for weight reasons, but at the same time they could have used nylon or something similar instead of plastic and kept the weight down. If they did, it would again be much more expensive. Overall this is a great hiking/camping tool. It works well.
