Just an update on the powermonkey eXplorer. I used it on a three-week trip in Canada last month, charging the pod from mains when we had power every few days and using solar the rest of the time. The panel sat on the rack bag though mud and rain quite happily. The Garmin was as low as 34% some days so it needed charging every day. The solar kept up with the Garmin OK, but it would have struggled with the phone as well. It could do both in a day but that seemed to drain it too much and I didn't want to risk losing data. Glad to have it though; very neat and light.
