There are any number of portable power banks on the market, but they’re mostly designed for city slickers to slip into their handbags or briefcases on the way from home to office. Sure, they might take the odd bump and even a small coffee spill, but they’re not designed for demanding adventures, where they’ll be subjected to mud, dust, sand, water and all the other challenges that inevitably come with life in the great outdoors. For that kind of stuff, you need a rugged power bank designed to provide proper protection against the elements. Basically, you need a Goal Zero Venture 35. Equipped with an IP67 rating, this 9,600 mAh power bank is dustproof and waterproof, so you can be sure it’ll literally power you through any adventure, rain or shine. The Venture 35 also charges up in a mere three hours using the new 18W USB-C Power Delivery port, which works in conjunction with two 3A USB outputs to juice up multiple devices simultaneously
Manufactured Sustainably - Goal Zero achieved carbon neutrality in 2020 for all of their inbound and outbound shipments. This was achieved by partnering with Carbonfund.org to offset 100% of carbon emissions generated from all inbound and outbound shipping operations.
It’s pretty hard to run anything – including a household, let alone a business – if you don’t have a source of light to see what you’re doing. It’s a realisation that struck Goal Zero founder Robert Workman back in 2007, during his time in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). So, he came up with a simple system – a solar power pack consisting of a battery, solar panel, and LED lantern – designed to bring light, safety and economic empowerment to rural communities.
It was the start of a global business with a humanitarian mission at its heart: to empower people by putting a reliable source of power in the hands of every human being. Over the past decade or so, Goal Zero’s portable solar products have brought precious power to people in Haiti, Japan, the USA, the Philippines, Tanzania, Nepal, Puerto Rico, India and elsewhere. The brand’s best-in-class tech, which encompasses everything from off-grid power stations to mountable solar panels, has proven its worth in multiple disaster zones, as well as in some of the world’s most remote and inhospitable regions.
Their reliability and efficiency also make Goal Zero products the natural choice for off-grid adventures, whether you’re heading off to hike a long-distance trail, spend a week in the hills or go off on an extended vanlife tour.
