This is an upgrade from the Flip36, which I used to keep my Pixel Phone charged while on various adventures (Camping/Motorcycle Camping). So far pretty happy with the Venture 35. Small enough to fit in my pocket and so far has been able to re-charge my Pixel 4-5 times. Really like the rugged construction and the LED light. I've always have had a good experience with Goal Zero products. I do not even look at competitors. If there is one thing I'm not too thrilled about is the by-directional charging on the USB-C. IF I had to say anything negative, it would be that one must be careful not to deplete one's phone if the Venture 35 has a lesser of a charge. It would also be nice if a plug-in fast changer was part of the package. Minor inconveniences.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Must to Have!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Goal Zero Venture 35 Power Bank is a must have whether you keep it in your car to charge your phone, take it on camping trips to charge USB devices or keep it on hand for hurricanes which is what we will use it for. Now we don't have to take up a plug on our generator for keeping our phones charged. This great little bank can charge 3 devices at once! It only takes 3 hours to charge up and it retains its power for 3-6 months! Winner! I love that it is waterproof and has a built in 50 lumens flashlight. Small enough to keep in your backpack for hikes etc. I'm just totally impressed with this device and highly recommend it. A+

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought the power bank with me camping and I’m so glad I did! We had it down by the beach with us so we could have our phones plugged in and listen to music. It withstood sand and water being dripped all over it. It didn’t take very long to charge the power bank and it easily charged two of our phones at the same time. I think I’m going to also purchase the solar charger accessory so I can charge it when I bring it next time camping where there is no power. It’s small but has a heavy duty feel to it. This is perfect for outdoors!

Great IPX7 Power Bank

I have been buying Goal Zero Flips for years and needed a waterproof power bank decided. The Venture rechargers offered both a good performance, IPX7 rating, and were built solidly so I got both a 35 and 75. Quality is really good, these are rugged, well-designed, rechargers with fast charging. At first I was sceptical about the plastic cover, thinking it might come off due to use. However, almost after a year of fairly regular use, I haven't had any problem with it.
The only downside of the Venture 35 is that, though relatively compact, it is on the heavier side. It is a somewhat reasonable tradeoff for ruggedness. It still would nice to see a lighter and more compact Venture 25 version with 5/6000 mAh to have a more lightweight option.

Great when it works

Not much to review about this powerbank. Flashlight is a nice feature. But charging? Yep, it charges devices. At least it used to. Used it for a couple of times, every time before using i'd notice the power in it reduced - i'm not a professional in power banks but it seems kind of weird for powerbank to discharge on it's own. Perhaps it's the reason why after a while of lying on a shelve it no longer charges. It's been lass than two years having it and now it's another piece of waste. I've specifically chose goalzero as it looked like a decent and reputable brand but my initial experience with this power bank is that some cheap generic power bank would've served me better.

No 8mm solar port, so it cannot connect to solar panels for fast charge. So disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Extremely durable but....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This charger is very well built. It feels solid in my hand and I have no concerns whatsoever about it's durability. The features of being almost completely weather/sand/water-proof might be worth having for those certain situations where other products would lack, but the charging speed for my devices could be better. I'd recommend this for anyone on the go especially in more rugged environments, but be patient. The charge will happen just not as zippy as other products on the market.

Its robust and rugged design makes it perfect for rough terrains, and the impressive 35000mAh capacity ensures that my devices stay charged throughout the day.

Whether I'm hiking, camping, or traveling, the Venture 35 Power Bank has proven to be a reliable and essential companion that I can always count on to keep my gadgets powered up and ready for action!
