The Powerpacks provide energy at any time so consumers can charge electronic devices capable of USB charging no matter where they are. Their tough, sturdy ABS plastic and aluminum design make the packs perfect companions for people who love adventures in the great outdoors and for travelers who want to be prepared for whatever might come their way. Both Powerpacks come in a dust-tight and waterproof shell that has been IP67 certified to withstand falls from a height of up to 2 meters (the highest standard there is). They come with a charging and sync cable plus a compact carrying case.
