Rugged folding solar panel for off-grid adventures
There’s a giant source of endless, free energy up there in the sky above us. Solar power makes so much sense – but the difficulty has always been in how to harness it. Powertraveller has devised the perfect solution with the Extreme Solar. When you need to charge your phone, tablet or GoPro, but don’t want to carry a heavy, bulky battery pack, this is the ideal adventure companion. This 5W clamshell solar panel unfolds to 210 degrees and will charge in low light conditions. A flashing LED light shows green for optimum charging, red for lower-quality conditions. It’s housed in a tough, rugged, waterproof and dust-proof case and charges devices via a useful USB port. It even comes with a Velcro strap that enables you to attach the panel to a rucksack.

Getting caught out without enough juice in your phone, GoPro or camera is frustrating at the best of times - in the great outdoors, it can sometimes be outright dangerous. That’s why we we’re stoked to be working with PowerTraveller, who build power packs and solar chargers fit for expeditions to the most rugged and inhospitable landscapes on earth. No, honestly - one of their earliest projects was to build tech for research expeditions to Antarctica. These days, they’re working with Red Bull athletes to make sure their action cameras are fully charged, so you can enjoy watching the highlights.
PowerTraveller aren’t just building tech for extreme situations, though - their lightweight, portable power banks are perfect for commuting, weekends on the road and long-haul flights, too. Their kit is designed to ensure that you can switch off, never needing to worry about whether your tech is charged or not. What’s more, they’re constantly researching and innovating to create the most sustainable, environmentally friendly products possible. For the everyday and for the extreme, PowerTraveller will keep you moving forward.
