OK, this is cool: a 7-watt solar panel that weighs less than a pound (14.2oz plus another ounce for the 12V cigarette adapter), is only 6.5x9 inches and an inch thick, and charges via USB and 12V? Sold.
Goal Zero seemingly has come out of nowhere - and by nowhere we mean we were obviously not paying enough attention - and by not paying attention we mean probably drunk busy beer testing - with a full line of power products that are eminently expedition worthy.
The Nomad 7M solar panel folds in thirds and is covered in a tough nylon fabric. There is an internal pocket big enough for an average charger, and a bunch of small carabiner-sized cord loops so you can secure it to a backpack, tent, yak or whatever. Phones, MP3 players and the like charge in about two hours, true to spec. The price point is oh-so-reasonable and icing on the cake for this stellar panel.
