[pct-l] Solar Chargers

[Paul Robison]

my honest recommendation is a AA to ipod converter...

... a couple lithium AA's and the converter weighs less than 1 ounce.  will give 
you far more power than you need for less than the weight of a solio classic.
here is the igo converter i use:

has lasted me almost a year and no problems at all. for 9 bucks can't go wrong.

i have the new and old solio as well as a 6 watt brunton, and have found AA's to 
be better.  wish i hadn't wasted my money.

I have a Solio Classic charger, but am not really happy with its  
preformance. I've been looking at a Power Monkey, but not sure it will  
be any better. I'm looking for a reliable (and light) option to keep  
my iTouch powered for a JMT hike. Suggestions?
