BenzoI've had one for a couple years, using it extensively on summer backpacking trips in California and Idaho. I typically hang the cell from my pack so it's exposed to the sun while hiking, then when reaching camp, set it out in the sun with my iPhone/inReach plugged into it. That's always been enough on a six day trip to keep my phone and inReach topped off without needing another battery (although I also carry one in case it's cloudy). The little indicator on the front that shows you it's alignment with the sun is genius; the orientation makes a huge difference in how effective the panel is, so being able to dial it in perfectly is great. The whole package is well built, sturdy, and hasn't shown any signs of failure in my use. I've never compared it with other cells on the market, so I can't say how it's output or efficiency compares to other units, but I'm completely satisfied with mine.
