What can you recommend for minimizing pores?

This lightweight solar charger puts out a lot of power for the size. Plus, it has three output ports, to charge more devices at the same time than the competition.

This lightweight solar charger can charge three devices at once and has waterproof port covers.

The BigBlue 3 goes above and beyond the rest. Thanks to its impressive charging abilities and consistent performance across the board, this panel maintains its place at the top of the pack for another year. Though there may be other options out there that charge faster or look cooler, nothing beats this model when it comes to overall performance. When your electronics need a boost, this panel will deliver a consistent charge in variable conditions &#40;from full sun to partially cloudy&#41;. In terms of features, we love the built-in ammeter and the zippered accessory pouch. We also appreciate this panel's simplicity and reasonable price tag. With three USB ports and a classic fold-out design, the BigBlue is an excellent all-arounder that will efficiently charge most small gadgets. 
One downside to this panel is its weight. Weighing in at 23.5 ounces, it's a bit heavy. As a result, it's better suited for front-country use, though it will excel wherever you use it. Other than its weight, this panel receives high marks across the board.

Not a super fast charger

 Whoops. If customer service ever contacts me and replaces the unit, I’ll be a happy camper, until then, this lack of support is dragging down this review.  Edit: May 31, 2019 Ibigblue support returned emails and made it right. Their willingness to fix the situation while I am on my road trip and cannot just return the item to Amazon has earned them two stars back

 This is disappointing considering I was expecting some level of water resistance. In their defense, this may just be the manufacturers way of covering themselves from replacing abused or drowned units.  On the positive side, if it charges even close to the advertised rate, is as durable as it feels and appears, is indeed splash or rain resistant, and if the window issue is resolved by the manufacturer, I will be extremely pleased with this purchase.  I plan to use this solar panel on a 2 month long road/camping trip around the U

  On the positive side, if it charges even close to the advertised rate, is as durable as it feels and appears, is indeed splash or rain resistant, and if the window issue is resolved by the manufacturer, I will be extremely pleased with this purchase.  I plan to use this solar panel on a 2 month long road/camping trip around the U.S. starting in two days and I will not have time to have the unit returned before I leave

Nice product, defect remedied by customer support

0 amps via the type-C cable. - the panels appears to have a very thin plexiglass which can easily scratch if not careful. That means no leaning against any rocks/Walls if tired. - using both usb at once caused even longer charging

 That means no leaning against any rocks/Walls if tired. - using both usb at once caused even longer charging. I put my daughter’s iphone which had 1% left and my 5v charger (2 lights out of 4 on) at the same time and ended up with 3% on hers and only one extra light at end of 6 hour hike under full sun.  All in All, product may be good if it is intended to charge at a stationary location but not worth the extra weight for rough hikes

 Producing less than half if what it claims (2.1 instead of 5 volts) is indeed an issue when it is your only source of power for miles around.  contacted amazon support and returning product. Waiting for something that can deliver what it claims as far as power and is more robust for backcountry hiking like gorilla glass panels

Not what I expected

 I charged one cell phone from absolutely dead to full charge in about two hours. I believe it was registering 2.9 volts on the readout. It did fluctuate some but it stayed about the same throughout the charging cycle

 It's a solar panel and electronic, I always try to exercise caution with this type item. Be your own judge. It seems to be made well in my opinion.  I would buy this item again or for a gift

Happy with this item.

This product is great but not worth the $63 dollars, as others are cheaper and perform better. The solar charger has 4 panels, two USB power outputs, and can be folded up rather quickly. It has rings and a loop to mount the charger on any surface that has good direct sunlight. You could even attach it to your backpack to charge your phone or power-bank while outside

 I definitely like this panel - but as a owner of various other solar chargers that i took with me to field training for months at a time in the desert, it didn't perform as good as my Anker 4 cell solar charger or other various solar chargers. For $63 it's also somewhat expensive as other solar chargers are cheaper. Overall: I would recommend this charger if price isn't a big deal to you and you can deal with the sometime annoying performance issue, I received this product at a discounted price for my honest unbiased review.

Great Solar Charger, but is it worth the price tag?

 So far I'm thrilled with it. I camp in the pacific northwest where the sun is usually fighting with the clouds so I wanted something that charges faster than the other brands. It has not let me down. It will charge my Galaxy S9+ in less than 2 hours if the sun is shining (about the same if I plug it into the wall charger) or about 4 hours if it's really cloudy

Puts out the power! Update 7/9/19

  In my testing, each port supplied up to 2.4 A at a time, but the voltage was down to 4.15 V at that load. It supplied 4 A when drawing 2 A per port, but the voltage at both ports dropped to around 3 V, which may be too low to charge

15 V at that load. It supplied 4 A when drawing 2 A per port, but the voltage at both ports dropped to around 3 V, which may be too low to charge. I managed to squeeze out 4.5 A maximum according to the built-in ammeter, but again, very low voltage

4 A output, but only 12 W total

 But…. I hooked up my Applewatch and iPhone, this thing is pretty impressive. I charger my watch up 20% in about 30 minutes in full sun and at the same time my phone with an increase of 15% at the same time. All in all, I think that’s very respectable for a small solar unit

 I charger my watch up 20% in about 30 minutes in full sun and at the same time my phone with an increase of 15% at the same time. All in all, I think that’s very respectable for a small solar unit.  You have to realize this is solar, it’s not going to perform in shade or cloudy conditions as well, plus the angle to the sun is important to max out charging voltage.  I would absolutely get one again!  Update 4-1-22 I have used this charger now on two long dry camping trips and it’s awesome! Just came back from a Joshua Tree camping and it was a non stop supply of charging for my devices

Pleasantly  surprised

4 or at least 2). It's way too far from promised 12 W of output. Not worth the money paid for it. Contacted a seller - no response in almost 2 weeks
