Best portable charger for a backpacking trip.
Multi-day backcountry. No outlets. GPS-heavy navigation. Light enough to not feel it in the pack.
Weight matters. Battery matters more.
Multi-day backpacking trips kill phone batteries — GPS, photos, AllTrails, emergency texts via satellite. You can't bring three power banks; weight kills the trip. A slim 18.5 Wh bank is the right size for 2–3-day backcountry.
Light, USB-C in, MagSafe out.
Pocket-light
Slim profile. Doesn't add bulk to the pack.
USB-C in/out
Top up from a solar panel or fellow hiker's bank if needed.
MagSafe
Snap to your iPhone in a hip belt pocket while you hike.
Works with hiker solar setups.
Pair the Clutch Pro with a small USB-C solar panel for trips longer than 3 days. Top up during lunch breaks; use it in camp at night.
15 colors. Pick yours.
The matte finish hides fingerprints, scuffs, and whatever happens after a long day.
Trailhead to summit.
Slim, magnetic, ≈18.5 Wh — the Clutch Pro keeps your phone alive through every backpacking trip moment.

Will the Clutch Pro last all day at a backpacking day?
Yes for most users. The 5,000 mAh Clutch Pro delivers about 1.2 full iPhone charges or 1.5 Galaxy charges. Pair it with a low-power mode hour and you'll easily clear 16+ hours of heavy use.
Is it MagSafe?
Yes — magnetic alignment with iPhone 12 and later. Snap and go, no cables needed for the phone-to-charger connection.
How fast does it charge my phone?
USB-C PD up to 20W out — about 50% on an iPhone in 30 minutes. MagSafe is closer to 7.5W; great for top-ups while you keep moving.
Is it TSA-approved for the flight there?
Yes. The Clutch Pro is ≈18.5 Wh (5,000 mAh × 3.7V) — well under TSA's 100 Wh carry-on limit and every major airline's per-bank cap.
