Stays near the end of your drive
Keeps phones, lights and a cooler charged at campsites without hookups.
One fill in the morning is all most day hikes need.
Handles a 30-degree swing between sunrise and lunch without a change.

Twenty dollars now beats cutting a trip short over a blister.
Weighs nothing in your pack and saves every cold evening.
