Brunton Ember Solar Battery Pack

[kkjellquist]

Seems pretty ideal on the surface, but it's new and not too many reviews out there.  Anyone own one or seen one in person?

One place says 'water resistant housing', and it does micro, mini, and Apple 30 pin w/ the included cable.  I'm thinking this could live on one's handlebars, panniers, etc and recharge during the day.

I have a brunton Inspire battery pack. The thing is awesome. It will charge my phone twice and is small enough to carry around in the woods or the city and I NEVER run out of juice. I don't have any experience with the model you suggest but I love these types of batteries.

I have switched up to the goal zero products because they have 2aa cells that are more useful in my kit: radio, flashlight, camera, as well as using it to charge my phone.

I bring both now on long tours. I also carry a solar charger but I am not happy with my current charger the brunton explorer. I am going to get a goal zero and dump the explorer on ebay.
