I've been looking for a replacement for an old power bank when I stumbled across a review of the Elecom Nestout series. As soon as I saw "IP67" you had my full attention. This power bank is for my emergency use, when you aren't likely to be warm, dry & cozy. I've never understood why more outdoor products (I'm looking at you, headlamps) are shown in rainy or snowy conditions but are in fact barely water resistant. Weight & size are also a factor as you might be on foot. I am happy to report that the Nestout dimensions noted are accurate, but they are the total _envelope_ dimensions -- in practice, the unit seems much smaller. I do suggest double-checking dimensions on the Elecom site, since at least one seller had the wrong dimensions listed for the 10000 mAh unit. The unit offers USB A (output) & USB C (input & output) under a threaded, o-ring sealed cap. A recessed button activates the charge indicator & also 2 other functions, depending on how long you hold it (a reminder is printed next to the button). For complete disclosure, I haven't had it long enough to put it through much stress, but I'm very pleased so far. The overall ruggedness & high IP rating is a nice upgrade from other, quite delicate power banks. The only thing I would change would be that this unit is Li-Ion & I'd prefer LiPo if I had a choice.
