Kestrel 40

Compact, foldable solar panel with integrated power bank

Portable battery chargers are a great way to stay powered up and connected while you’re off-grid. But the more juice you need, the bigger and heavier they get – not ideal if you’re aiming to travel fast and light. As they drain, you also need to get back to civilisation (and a mains power supply) to recharge them. Powertraveller’s Kestrel 40 is different. It’s a highly efficient 12W solar panel with an integrated 10,000mAh battery, giving you a potentially infinite supply of energy on your adventures. The foldable solar panel is hard-wearing and water-resistant, with metal eyelets and two mini carabiners that make it easy to attach the unit to your pack. Dual USB ports offer the ability to charge two devices at once, from smartphones and tablets to GoPros, GPS devices and headtorches. Go anywhere under the sun without needing to worry about power.
