In Nepal the Sherpa is the guide who carries the equipment, but Sherpa is also what can bring the power. New this year is Goal Zero’s Sherpa 50, a portable solar-charging device that can provide anytime, anywhere power. Built for use in the wilderness this is a rugged system.
It features two small solar panels that can put out 13.5 watts of power, but can fold up for portability, and weights just three pounds. It includes a multitude of outputs including USB and 12-volt. The power will flow later this year and for those who depend on their electronics this is one Sherpa that you’ll want to have with you.
We know that Sherpas can carry a lot of stuff, and we expect a Yeti (that would be the Abominable Snowman) would certainly be seriously tough too – but now the Sherpa 50 and Yeti 1250 will bring portable power as well. We missed Goal Zero at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month unfortunately, but the company also hit the Outdoor Retailer Show and showed off its new products that bring portable power.
