Fun Rating:

Fun Explanation: 
These systems will allow us to use our electronics on-hill for longer. Thereby increasing the fun during & after our adventures. They also provide a comfort, since you know you can power critical devices in the backcountry. You need to be comfortable before you can have fun.
Danger-Zone Rating: 
10
Danger-Zone Explanation: 
Being able to power emergency devices in the backcountry is a necessity, and so is powering your cell phone when you have gotten split up from your friends on the hill. You will never be in as much danger as you would be without goalzero-style portable solar panels & rechargeable batteries.

Overall Explanation: 
I feel that this is one of the trendiest types of products that is coming to our sport. I can't wait until they get more compact, which is why it was given a 9/10. This is definitely a great gift for anyone right now, but eventually they will be efficient enough to become the norm. Let's keep our snow as clean as untouched spring water mountain streams. The future is now, so dig in and enjoy the view for as long as possible (while keeping as comfortable as possible).

How Does It Work?

Plug your power pack into the solar panel

or wall to start the collection of power.

Once your power pack is all charged

up, you can use it just like you

would a wall plug.



The power you have collected in the

power pack can now be used to power

or recharge any device.
