Solar Chargers?

I have been searching around here, but came up with no answers.

Does anybody have any experience with Solar Chargers for small electronic devices? Specifically, I'm looking at the Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus adventure Kit. With the ProDeal it's only $77.00, but they're out of stock right now. I'd like something to charge my phone and maybe iPod while I'm out, but reviews seem to show GoalZero products as hit or miss. Any input, gents?

I have had good luck with the Powerfilm chargers.

Just ordered the Powerfilm 5W. In the mean time I'll be using my buddy's Goal Zero Nomad7 that he just got. Thanks again.

Packable solar charger review

http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics...-solar-charger

Was looking into Anker products and found this compilation. Impressed with the output/wt-and- cost ratio improvements out there.
