The only thing as indispensable as a smartphone these days is a power bank, whether it’s for a layover at an airport or for an extended trip through the wilderness. Here are a few of our favorites.

TravelCard Charger

If you want one that can fit in your pocket alongside your phone, look at the TravelCard Charger, packing 1,500mAh into a compact device that’s only 3/8-inch thick.

Anker PowerCore 20100

Anker is a highly recommended brand and the new 20100 lives up to the company’s name. The updated PowerCore now has a USB-C charger with enough juice to completely charge a 12-inch Macbook.

Goal Zero Venture 30

It’s slightly more expensive than similarly sized chargers, but this one is completely waterproof and compatible with Goal Zero’s line of solar chargers, making it perfect for the digital outdoorsman.
