For extended off-grid life, most adventurers traditionally turn to a petrol or diesel generator. But generators are noisy, dirty and smelly, which kind of ruins your ‘back to nature’ vibe. They also come with the hassle of regular maintenance, the risk of spilt fuel and the (literal) headache of noxious fumes. All of which makes Goal Zero’s Yeti portable power stations complete game-changers. You can basically think of the Yeti as a power bank on steroids, delivering clean, quiet and fuss-free electricity. Take the 500X model, for example, which delivers 505 Watt-Hours of lithium power and the latest fast charging technology in a compact, ultra-portable design. Whether you’re headed out for a few days or the whole week, it’s the perfect power solution to keep your essentials charged from door to destination and back again
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.
