Hi all

Wondering if anyone can recommend a lightweight solar charger for an IPhone 8? I live in the States and leave in early june. Only looking for something I can order in the states.

Thanks!

Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
Just thinking of not having to plug things in. Vacillating between solar and a back up battery. I’ll be in the Norte for 5 weeks but posted in Frances because more people read it. :)
 
IMHO, this is useless weight, and one more thing to lose. The others are correct. There are plenty of outlets to plug in your charger. All you need is a plug pin adapter. The native Apple charger will work fine on Euro current (220 vac, 50 hz).

Also, you can pick up an Apple Euro charger in any mobile / phone shop for Euro 24,99. Similarly, lightning cords are ubiquitous.

Hope this helps.

Honestly? Solar chargers are a complete waste of time in my opinion; take a good power bank and a continental charger ( I got mine from amazon.fr) with at least two USB outlets (allows you to share) so that you can keep your devices and your power bank charged up. My charger is by Anker and has served me very well.

We found a Waka waka solar panel, which also has a torch option. By buying one, you support charity projects as initiated by the Waka waka organisation.
If the sun has gone for a walk, it can also be charged from a conventional socket.
