Capable of outputting 20 watts of power to two USB ports, this X-Dragon solar charger is a great choice if you’ll have plenty of sunlight. It doesn’t have a battery, so you’ll only be able to charge your phone(s) during daylight hours—however, its three 12-inch-wide panels will catch plenty of rays.

It folds down relatively flat and it also has several strategically placed loops so you can easily strap it to your backpack and soak up the sun while you’re hiking.

Anker has earned a reputation for making quality phone chargers and power banks, and its solar-powered phone charger is an undeniably solid device.

Similar in size and power output to the BigBlue, it usually sells for the same amount or less, so if getting a name-brand device matters to you, this may be the way you want to go. It consists of three panels with grommets for hanging, and folds down to a compact size easy to slide into your backpack. Its industrial strength, water-resistant polymer fabric means that it can hold up in the elements, too.
