George bought a solar power charger over the winter. So far, he’s very impressed.
The official weight listed is 1.4lbs. But that’s with EVERY piece. If you are only hiking with an iPod and a phone, it would be far lighter than 1lb.
You hang the solar charger anywhere on your pack. It stores a charge for later juicing your camera, phone and other electronics.
I’m convinced. I’ll get one for longer trips this summer. Cost is $130 from Amazon. George got his for less than $100.
