The Dark Energy Spectre Solar Panels Are The Lightest And Most Durable Out There!

When backpacking, you dont typically think about carrying a solar panel to charge your devices. But when Dark Energy released their ultra lightweight 8W solar panel, we had to give it a try! Portable power in the backcountry has been a challenge for Kim. Cheaper battery packs have proven to be unreliable. She carries her phone for mapping and for recording and also the Zoleo Satellite communicator just in case of an emergency. Keeping these devices charged gives us peace of mind while her and Daisy are out there alone. Dark Energy provides excessively durable portable power just for this purpose. The Spectre 8W Solar Panel is compact, lightweight, crush resistant, and has a TWO year warranty making it a great option for backpacking!! Let us showcase the 8W as well as an 18W panel and get your thoughts! Gear used out on the trail: Outdoor Vitals Shadowlight 60L Backpack: https://outdoorvitals.com/products/sh...
