Sturdy and packs well

I bought this for a recent hunting trip. Even when cloudy it kept my phone (and thus my GPS) running strong. It survived multiple good falls and kept going strong. Super happy with it.
So far it has served its purpose well and as long as there is sun out it recharges a Flip 12 or boast up your phone fairly fast. Rugged construction that has taken a beating well, with only a light scratch from some branches. Clip points make fastening it to your pack or tent handy, but the hole design requires larger carabiners. Only real grip would be weight if you are counting ounces.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Keep in mind that it will work ONLY under direct sunlight. Under an overcast sky, or even during morning/evening low sun id doesn't work at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

pair with a flip12 for maximum effectiveness

Regularly use mine with the flip12 to boost up my devices. With the semi-regular power outages we get here in TX it's super handy to be able to juice up power banks with this little guy. Charges my flip12 in just a couple of hours typically.
Not effective enough while hiking. You need it to be in direct sunlight for 6-8 hrs to full charge small goal zero power pack

Perfect for the backcountry!

The lightweight, compact nature of the solar panel makes it one of my favorites for throwing on the back of a pack during a hike or ski tour in the backcountry. The Nomad can easily charge a phone, headlamp or string of lights. While the kickstand is great for stable placement, it needs to be in a wind protected area to avoid blowing over.
Fits on the back of a backpack I have with some carabiners so makes charging things in my bag easy when I’m on the go. I would definitely suggest if you hike or go to a theme park to pick one up.
