Ever made plans to meet up with friends at the top or bottom of a lift, but you don’t see them, and when you try to send the “where u @?” text, you find that your phone’s battery has already drained? GO PUCK offers a solution to this challenge by packing wearable power into a charger around the size of a deck of cards.  GO PUCK bills itself as “the ultimate personal power solution to charge all USB­ powered devices.”  It can be clipped, strapped, or mounted to you or your equipment.

A friend who is working this season for Vail‘s mountain safety team used this device extensively and gives it two thumbs up.  “I was able to get two full charges out of it in one day on the mountain,” he commented, “which definitely saved me the hassle of going inside to look for an outlet.”  The GO PUCK device features Qualcomm® Quick Charge technology, 2 AMP input with dual 2AMP outputs, is 75% faster than conventional charging devices,  2xs the speed of a wall outlet, and even has dual “Rapid” output, enabling you to power or charge two devices simultaneously, including larger devices (IE Tablets and GoPros).  Worried about dropping it in the snow?  Don’t.  It has  a“reset” feature – combined with the “Water Resilient” design, this allows for safer use and reactivation of the device if dropped in water/snow, or if the snow melts in your pocket and on the device.

The GO PUCK device was developed by former race car driver Blake Fuller, the designer and inventor of lithium-ion batteries used in every Indy Race Car. Fuller transferred his expertise of designing durable, lightweight power that can withstand the hazards of elite car racing to create GO PUCK.  It will definitely become part of our winter arsenal of “Mountain Armor,” adding to our treasure trove of convenient and useful items!
