Today’s gear suggestion and review comes from Matador community member, Charlotte Dando

The Solio Solar Battery Charger is a pretty nifty gadget!

It is pocket sized and comes with adaptors which fit most mobiles phones, MP3 players and other electrical items.

To be honest, it takes a LONG time to fully charge in the sun but it can also be charged via a mains plug.

It works best as a portable battery for a few days when you’re away from mains power – either camping, trekking or wherever!

Price: $88.23 | BUY

    The Solio is only one option for solar panel chargers. Others, such as the foldable Brunton charger, will provide more oomph faster.
