The Goal Zero looks like you have to be half careful with it to not bend/break it? How do you find it for durability?

My solar panel is a Nomad7 and has held up fine so far. (6-8 years, I think?) But from your link, it does look like it has been redesigned since I bought mine- So I wouldn't want to speculate on how the new model holds up. In my experience, the Goal Zero solar panels do charge well, even in less than perfect conditions. I usually leave mine propped in camp, charging a battery pack and have rarely returned to a pack that wasn't fully charged.

I can certainly see your point however- the Power Travellers would appear to be a more durable construction.
