Umm… The link doesn’t seem to be working and there isn’t anything on the Extreme Outfitters site listing these kits..?

That’s what is supposed to pop up whenever the link is clicked.
Gotcha’! Thanks!
Anyone have any experience with setups like this? I’ve been temped but am not sure how well these actually work.
Sgt. E, I use a solar kit from Goal Zero, the Guide 10 plus, which probably is most equal to the Adventurer Military above.
It’s light and handy. I can quickly charge most portable devices. It is a little finicky with an iPhone 5, but it will still work. Other cell phones and my Kindle are no problem. It has a USB port and attachments, but the TAS kits above come with more attachments. My GZ kit came with a AA battery pack that can be used as power source or as rechargeable batteries in devices.
I’m very pleased with Goal Zero, but it looks like the TAS kits come with a nicer coyote carrying case and more peripherals, aside from the AA batteries. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the response and I’ll probably be giving one of these a go.
I have one of the older versions of these prior to the molle case or having car charging plugs.
I used to keep my phone and several of the lane walkers I worked with phones. During the day I would just lash the panel on top of my ruck and have it recharge the battery. After 4 days of charging my phone and other peoples when the FTX was over the battery was down to 50%, which I would attribute to being in the woodline and not getting enough light to the panel to keep the battery full from the trickle charge.
