Wow! I don't even know where to start with this backpack. The backpack itself is awesome; the solar power is a great added bonus. When it arrived, it was folded up into a small little pack, which made me think it was going to be a cheap flimsy little backpack. I opened it up and still thought it was a bit on the small side for our hiking needs. We took it out on the trails yesterday and it couldn't have been more perfect. The backpack was easily able to carry all of the snacks, gear, and water that we usually take in a much bigger and heavier pack. I wore the backpack and it was lightweight without being bouncy. The chest strap was comfortable and helped keep the pack in place. I had fully charged the solar panel the day before our hike and when we got on the trail I realized that my gopro battery was dead. I plugged the gopro into solar pack and charged it for an hour and a half while we hiked up the mountain. Once we got up there, the gopro was charged and ready to take pictures. It was so easy to hook the solar pack to the outside of the backpack and charge it back up as we went back down the mountain.
This is an awesome bag for day hikes, trips to amusement parks, and I would even recommend it as a diaper bag. It has plenty of pockets and the quality appears to be very good, I expect to get many years of use out of this backpack.
I received this product at a discounted price for my honest and unbiased review.

This is my second ECEEN solar product and I am again impressed with the quality of there products. This backpack is made of a very high quality light water resistant material. Even though the backpack is made of light material is doesn't feel like is going to rip.
There are plenty of pockets both in the bag and outside. The side pocket is able to hold my large water bottle without issue. Each strap has the ability to be tightened and loosened easy. There is a chest strap that works excellent.
The solar panel is great here. IMPORTANT NOTE: The solar panel comes with a special 3 way cord usb / micro usb / special adapter plug for the panel. It does work to charge the battery pack via usb however do not use this cable to charge your device. Your mileage may vary but when i tried to charge my Samsung Galaxy S6 with it the battery pack powered off and wouldn't charge my device. The problem is with the cable as i tried using a different usb to micro usb cable and it charged my device just fine.
The solar panel should charge the 2000mAh battery pack within 4hrs of direct light however I found it does charge even in indirect light. It looks like they were able to accomplish this by using smaller rechargeable batteries that accepts a trickle charge which works even on a cloudy day. This is awesome for me because I hike where there is little light. Most of my hike I'm surrounded by large trees and the solar charger in this case still works great.
I was provided this product in exchange for my honest review.
