PWR Solar Panel 10W

Impressive 10W solar for backpacking, thru-hiking

This solar panel is the best I could find for backpacking after considering the various criteria that go into my gear choices: weight, durability, functionality, and compactness. The materials and build are very solid, it charges efficiently, and it's very compact. The weight is a bit higher than I would like for long-distance hikes, but then again this product was probably optimized for biking. The rubber material is likely the issue, though going with a lighter material could compromise the durability. I would also like to see the USB-A port replaced with USB-C as most of my gadgets use that standard now. I bring along a Lever Gear cable kit, which includes any adapters I need, as a nice lightweight complement to the PWR Solar Panel. My primary mode of use is to charge an Anker Powercore 5000, which I then use to charge my other electronics. To summarize, I think the PWR is a best-in-class product for a portable and robust solar charger, and I would highly recommend it to any hiker, cyclist, or anyone else recreating in the outdoors.

No Matter where You go You’re “In Charge”

The PWR Solar Panel is the compliment I needed for my PWR System Accessories and Batteries. The backcountry places I like to go have plenty of Sun and this is the perfect way to use that resource. Even in the far part of the middle of nowhere you can keep your flashlight, lantern, GPS and Phone charged and usable with the Solar Panel. Compact enough to always have with you it is well designed and built, as you would expect from Knog.
