I can certainly see your point however- the Power Travellers would appear to be a more durable construction.
Sounds like its treating you pretty good for durability. I will have to have another better look at them. The Goal Zeros have a lot more panel area for sure so it makes sense they charge quicker and in less than ideal conditions. Thanks for the reply Wrongside.
