Pretty cool to see our carabiner on the 5.11 Tactical website, looking forward to seeing our 200W Solar Blanket on their jeep build at Sema this year.

Have you ever considered stocking Inergy Kodiak Swede71? These blankets look skookum and good Canadian sources for this stuff are gold. Thanks

Forgive my ignorance, I know nothing about solar. Do you need a solar generator or battery to be able to use the solar blanket or can you plug your device (phone, laptop, ipad, fridge, ect.) directly into the solar blanket and charge them or use them?

Our 200W & 120W Solar Blankets both have two 2.4A high speed USB charging ports on the back of the panel to directly charge USB devices. They also have a standard Anderson connector with optional cables that can be connected to a Goal Zero cable for charging larger Goal Zero Yeti portable power stations that can charge all the rest you have mentioned. Or be connected to a solar charge controller to charge 12/24V batteries directly like your vehicle battery which can then be charging everything you listed above.

This picture below shows the 200W Solar Blanket directly charging 2 Goal Zero Venture 70 power banks, and it was charging the 12V battery in the Off-Road trailer that had a 75L Dometic fridge/freezer running at the time.

thanks for the quick reply and explanation. These are more powerful than I thought they were. I may be interested in the 120W after I get caught up on some other things I have to take care of. Thanks

If you are heading to SEMA and are want to see our 200W Solar Blanket

Check out this Awesome Jeep Build at SEMA, powered by our 200W Solar Blanket. Kate the 5.11 Tactical JEEP. Located in front of the entryway to the drift demo track.

Our 200W Solar Blanket takes up very little space at 13.6lbs, the size of a laptop & can easily drape to absorb the most sunlight. Easily charges the 2 Group C Deep Cycle Odyssey batteries with Genesis Offroad dual battery kit, 42L Snowmaster Fridge, 3 devices anytime & stereo, with this set-up

Hard to justify the price of admission for me anyway, despite how awesome and compact they are, when a good 200w Mono briefcase is almost 1/3 the price...? I admire anyone who can just pop-off and buy one of these things without breaking into a sweat, especially Kanuckistanians paying $1.40+/ $US or whatever the hell it is now.

We just signed an agreement with Inergy and are now only one of two 3rd party manufacturers that will be providing a Solar Blanket/Panel option for there new Kodiak K2 Portable Power Station. Besides us Powerfilm is the other one offered at over double the price. Nice that we can offer the same efficiency at a better price point.

Of course go with what works for you and your budget, not everyone can justify the cost, but like anything in life you get what you pay for in longevity and usefulness. The big selling feature of these Solar Blankets is that they will work how others will not just like a Powerfilm Solar Blanket, in low light conditions, even when it is raining, snowing or heavy smoke from fires, this translates to they will charge even more devices, quicker in conditions where you have excellent light. And because of how they are built they will last 10+ years, most other products on the market will not and they are 1/2 the price of Powerfilm. Plus the best part is they are lightweight and take up very little room, cause at the end of the day there is never enough room when Overlanding/Camping.

Not sure yet if I will be there, just figuring out what Overland shows I will have time to attend this year. If I am not there, Mike Glover and the Fieldcraft Group have a booth and will be offering my Solar Blankets. If you have any specific questions feel free to message me and I will do my best to answer.

I am interested in this package. What can I use this set up for? Other than using a laptop, what can this set up power? I like to have a fridge, charge my phone, use my laptop and maybe LED lights? Excuse me for all the questions but this is all new to me. If I am going to spend this much money, I like to know what it can do for me. I like your products because it's the best set up. If I get this set up, do I need anything else or is this pretty much ready to use?
