Solar Chargers

[Rufenit]

I posted this on another board before I found this one. Sorry for the repost.

I have been reading so many reviews on different solar chargers, my head hurts and I know less now then when I started,.

I am looking for a solar charger to charge my Garmin Rino while I am on an backcountry Elk trip for 10 days in Oregon. If anyone has one that they have had good luck with I would sure like  to know what is and would you reccomend i.

Thank you

Have you heard of the goal zero chargers?? They look pretty sweet!

Dont know how good they are but costco has Goal Zero's, Nomad?? I was looking at them last night, $50 or so, if I remember right. Comes wiith rechargeable battery pack for AA & AAA. Seemed light, I almost bought it but decided to read some reviews first. You would think it would just be easier to pack spare batteries, but a bunch of AA's weighs more then a guy would think when your counting oz's!!

Get the Goal Zero package that Costco sells for $100.  They listed online for $140 but I was there (Federal Way) and the price tag listed for $100.
