Have been on the road for almost 2 months with this as one of my charging options. It is a good size to carry around in a backpack, durable build, plus the flashlight is a nice, strong light. On the flip side, noticeably short battery retention, where it is good to charge my phone once (but not to 100%..). And you need to primarily re-charge it at charging outlets as the solar panel seems negligible- I have tried setting it out in the sun for 5-6 hours at a time but no difference. I wouldn't trust it as my sole charging means when backpacking, but only if on a hiking day trip. Even then I prefer to take my other portable charger which shows power percentage unlike this one… Haven't tested out the cheap mini carabiner it comes with, but at least it provides a place to loop in your own paracord to securely fasten it to a strong carabiner of your choice. As well, the compass does not work on mine.
