Whether you’re a hardcore adventurer or just like to be outdoors often, you’re familiar with two things: Mother Nature doesn’t always tret your electronics gently, and there isn’t an abundance of charging ports in the great outdoors. To play along, all you need to do is be prepared.
I’m a fan of the Nestout 10000nAh Power Bank, one of a variety of power banks offered by the brand, from 5000mAh to 15000mAh.
The 10000mAh Power Bank sits smack in the middle, and at half a pound (8.4 ounces), it’s compact enough to tuck into a pack on outdoor adventures. The resilient power companion is waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof (with a shock-absorbent cushion and a hard-shell body), and packs enough juice to power your phone, camera, and headlamp. It’s also got six safety protections, including temperature detection and safeguards against overvoltage, short circuit, overcharge, over-discharge, and overcurrent.
The long-lasting battery is compatible with smartphones, tablets, and various USB devices. If fast-charging through the USB-C port, you can fully recharge the power bank in about 2 hours and 45 minutes. The power bank has the battery life for 2 recharges for smartphones, 3 recharges for a POV camera, and 6 recharges for a headlamp. It comes in beige, gray, and black, and lists for $54.99 on the Nestout site.
Nestout battery packs have a variety of modular accessories, and I use the LAMP-1 Lantern Light. Attach it to the battery via a USB-A connector, and it becomes a powerful light source for your next outdoor trip. You can adjust the brightness to improve visibility during your activities or switch to a softer light to create a cozy campsite ambiance. A mini tripod is included, so you can enjoy the hands-free lighting. The LAMP-1 Lantern Light comes in beige or black and lists for $42.99 on the Nestout site.
