Ten thousand milliamp hours in a rubber shell.
A 10,000mAh power bank in a rubberised water-resistant case with two USB outputs, one at 5V/1A and one at 5V/2.1A, so it charges two devices at once. A 2W polycrystalline panel in the top face and a small LED light on the end. 6.3 x 3.1 x 0.79 in, 10.6 oz. A carabiner with a compass is included.
Be clear about what the solar panel here is for. Two watts against a ten thousand milliamp hour cell is a trickle, and it will not refill this bank in a day of sun. It is there so a bank left on a dashboard for a week comes back to life, and so a dead phone is still solvable when there is no socket for three days. Charge it from USB. Treat the panel as the backstop.
What you're getting
Two outputs, different speeds
5V/2.1A for the device you actually care about and 5V/1A for the other one. Both run at once, which matters when there are two phones and one bank.
Rubberised and water resistant
A silicone rubber cover over the body and flaps over the ports. It handles rain, spray and a dusty pack. It is water resistant and not waterproof, and it must not go under water.
A four-dot gauge and an LED light
Four pilot lamps show the charge level rather than making you guess, and a small LED under the end flap gives you enough light to find the cable in a tent.
The panel is a backstop, not a charger
2W of polycrystalline cell in the top face. In direct overhead sun it adds real charge over days. It is not a way to fill 10,000mAh from empty, and we would rather say so than let you find out on a trip.
Carabiner with a compass
Included in the box. It clips the bank to the outside of a pack so the panel faces the sky while you walk, which is the only way the solar side does anything useful.

Where it earns its keep
- Multi-day hikes, clipped to the pack with the panel facing up
- In the glovebox, where the solar keeps it from going flat between trips
- Power cuts, where 10,000mAh is two or three phone charges
- Camping with two phones and one cable run
- A bug-out bag, where the panel is the reason to choose this over a plain bank
Questions
How long does the solar panel take?
Longer than you want. A 2W panel against a 10,000mAh cell means many days of good sun to fill it from empty, and that is before cloud and angle. Charge it from USB and use the solar to hold it topped up or to claw back a partial charge in the field.
Is it really waterproof?
It is water resistant. The rubber cover and port flaps handle rain and spray. Do not submerge it, do not leave it in standing water, and dry the port flaps before opening them.
How many phone charges is 10,000mAh?
Roughly two full charges for a typical phone, sometimes a little more, sometimes less. Every bank loses some capacity to conversion, so treat the figure as the cell rating rather than what comes out of the USB port.
Can I fly with it?
Power banks go in carry-on baggage, never checked, and airlines have their own limits. A 10,000mAh bank is comfortably inside the usual allowances, but check with your airline.

$49.95One-time · no subscription Add to cartCapacity, output and panel figures are manufacturer ratings. Usable output is always lower than the cell rating because of conversion losses. Water resistant is not waterproof: do not submerge. Solar charging is supplementary and heavily dependent on sun angle, cloud and temperature; it is not a practical way to charge this bank from empty. Lithium power banks must travel in carry-on baggage only.
