Helly Hansen Odin 9 Infinity Pants Review - Premium Waterproof Overtrousers
Hi there great video! I've just bought exactly the same one and I'm very happy with it the only problem I've got is the front wheel seems to make a knocking/ vibrateing noise even when going over small humps and down curbs is that normal? Thanks
Thank you for this comparison, exactly what I needed to see. Buying my ac180 this week still with the black friday special!!!
@@ZMLsounds fantastic! If you click on the link and buy from Bluetti you'll be really supporting the channel!
Thats a lot of moneys worth sat there. Be interested with just the one 200w
@@CynictheHedgehog yeah it's alot of money for sure. In general, we just don't get enough sun in the UK!
I want to buy one but given most days are cloudy, even forking out for the 200w over the 100w solar panel feels a waste of time other than to charge a phone 😂
@CynictheHedgehog I know what you mean. The Jackery panels are fairly expensive too. I recommend getting the biggest panel you can afford if you're going solar, but its a big if!
We just bought our Motorhome this would be very handy All powers
Hi, can I ask, is there space to fit a phone holder on the handlebars? Thx
Anker for me with an led light is a plus
As I understand there is only cadence sensors and you cant really use it effectively for slow speeds, correct? How about the throttle, how sensitive is it to use for low speeds? I would like to see this tested on a more technical track to see if this config is up to it or if it is a highway cruiser.
Thank you ❤
I'm surprised they put the brake levers on the handle bars
Where would you put them?
US here also! Ty for sharing 😊
Mine is charging at 1.16 to 1.18 when plugged in at home? Maybe its your outlet?
Hello, Do U hear some Bzzzz noise when U start charging Power station by wall socket? Greetings

Very helpful. So in colder weather did you put your insulated air mattress on top of the bed?
I have tried that and it's comfortable, but only works well if you've got a huge pack or you're travelling by car. Alot of weight.
@ I travel by motorcycle. There are pads like the ether light with an R value of 6+ yet are thin. So they suck on the ground as only inch/inch and a half thick but might be perfect with this cot
I find the AC 180 so big and heavy its a pain to carry around to charge. If youre going to use it every single day like me then bette to get the AC 70. Or use a sewing machine bag with wheels
@@wanderingronin305 there's much bigger ones than that! I agree, but sometimes it's nice to have the power
@@CampingSecretsUK well I wanted to use it for egg steam machine lmao and that is 400w so I'll test tomorrow haha makes 6x steamed boiled eggs in 5 mins
I’ve just got the ac180p and has 288 extra wh over the ac180
Great review. I was checking the bluetti site and it says the ac180 can use battery expansions. Is this a new thing and a change since your review was done?
@@JimKirk-c2v I mention it briefly in the vid. The ac180 can be charged by a battery pack but doesn't have proper battery management and integration. I wouldn't call it proper battery expansion. The AC240 does have it tho 👍
@@CampingSecretsUK yeah the website says different? Thanks for getting back to me though.
yeah, but they're trying to sell them to people... :-) It just charges off the expansion battery, but doesn't 'combine it' into its own management system

First 👍😊
I think probably the other people you met are members of Boundless who own Whitemead, not sure Caravan Club have anything to do with it. Membership is around £40 a year, I've been staying there since the 80's off & on.
Interesting. The lady definitely said it was a Caravan & Motorhome deal, but maybe I misheard - I was a bit flustered as she jumped out as I was filming 😂
@CampingSecretsUK Haha, oh dear! There's nothing on the literature or website to suggest it's a Caravan Club site perhaps it's a private Caravan & Motorhome Club who've arranged a deal with Boundless. I imagine there are lots of small clubs around & that'd be a good way to be in a position with a multi booking to negotiate a deal maybe. Possibly even Boundless members with their own club?.
Annie - looks like it was rally #25 here - nice! gloucestershirecamc.co.uk/rally-programme/
Is it noisy?
I wonder if it's made to run 24/7 like a UPS.
Anyone has a alieexpress link?
Hi, you seem to be Mr Jackery UK - thinking of getting the new Jackery Explorer 1000v2 with a single Jackery 200w solar panel. I want to add the Jackery DC Extension cable. I cannot find anywhere if this can handle the 200w panel? Only reviews I've found pair it with a 100w panel. Will it throttle the energy going to the 1000v2? Thanks
That will work no problem 👍
by the way, I'm liking the 'Mr Jackery UK' - not sure they'd agree!
@@CampingSecretsUK You should charge them for your services! Another Q for you if i may? Is it possible to charge one Jackery from another while in use? For instance, a Jackery is charging a fridge through the 12v charger. Can that Jackery be charged/topped up from a second Jackery say through the AC output of the second Jackery? Cheers
@acidpunker1 yes you can do that but bear in mind that you 'lose' electricity each time through the efficiency of the device. This is why I always try and measure the efficiency and report it in my videos. Ultimately if you're on a campsite with hookup then it's not an issue, but would be if you're off grid. Yes is the answer though. 👍
@@CampingSecretsUK Many thanks !!
We were there around the same time for a week with our caravan for a second time here. There’s a bath tub in the field just below which someone must of dumped. Lovely campsite and lovely town.
getting one today!!
You can charge via solar, car adapter, USB-C, or AC. Pretty adaptable. With an 100w solar panel, you can charge in 3 hours. One hour on AC.
The buzzing noise is unbearable even at lowest RPM. I have Anker 757, you can hear only the airflow at highest RPM with it. This is a massive step backward with that cheap fans and a useless device wherever you need a quiet operation at low RPM. We can't bear it our RV and I can't use it on the cinematography set at all.
How long its take to charge Ecoflow via 12V socket while driving or engine running?
About 3 hours
@CampingSecretsUK TQ for reply
That’s my Transit custom at the front pitch 8 was a good dry weekend
Haha, that's funny! Did you see me filming, and do you agree with my review. St Ives was lovely!
@@CampingSecretsUK didn’t see you filming must of been in the town, And yes love St Ives my Favourite campsite for out of season I’m here every year only from Plymouth so not to far.
Very good review! Very understandable.
I'm curious to know if you tested it for a long time? How did it withstand the test of time? Does it have the same issues as the ecoflow glacier with the thermostat, where you find your items frozen?
Very disappointed in my last two purchases with the AC-70 and the AC-180 unit neither of these units have WI-FI connection, only bluetooth, what a foolish way to lose future buyers, today in 2024 and this company does not provide the most basic of connectivity, a disgrace.
Another option might be a portable solar panel that fits behind the windshield so it might be a 140w foldable? then that plugs to the respective converter and any other gadget connected to the battery. Then that same panel you ca use to load your power station at home or any other. Also been thinking about replacing the leisure battery with a LiFePo battery + a booster as they tell me it is almost triple the capacity can charge fully and last more cycles accessing up tp 80% of the power every time. And is lighter. Then it will last more and need less charging.
The Decathlon website does not say anything about PFAS. Is this jacket being produced with or without forever chemicals?
how many hours will it last using pc ?
So you don't show how to connect the app something I'm have trouble with too
Can't get the app to pickup the device
What is the cm depth of the floor space with the rear seats all the way forward? Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
I’m curious if the fabric is breathable?
Or you can just use a UPS that is better suited for the job.
@@Markknightexeter true, but not bad as an added extra if you need rudimentary functionality
@@CampingSecretsUK very true there!
Can you do a comparison between the Anker Solice C1000 and the Jackery 1000 plus?
@@goldenblooms6672 yes maybe, I own both 👍
Can anyone explain to me what is the point of the expansion battery when its price now is the same as the Anker Solix C1000. Can't you just get another unit? Way more versatile?
That's a utopian test. In the real world, the fridge will be opened periodically to grab and/or add things and, more importantly, will be exposed to uncontrollable external temps that may have the compressor in the fridge turning on more often to maintain internal temp Just the same, that's pretty incredible numbers for a real world test. You've also answered the question many UA-camrs didn't- "will the mains plug charge the battery?" In the last 6 years, there's been a drastic cost reduction in 12v compressor fridges, but this one seems worth the premium for the flexibility it offers. It can charge via solar, mains, 12v battery, etc, it's light enough to move around to different areas as you need it and can swap batteries in unideal circumstances My only issue with the fridge is the 100w limit for solar, but that's not a deal breaker by any stretch. Seems like the perfect fridge for the weekend van lifer or routine beach goer
@@davidlane1248 great comment David thank you. I agree it's very good, but the price is a bit unrealistic in my view as you mentioned. Thanks again
@@CampingSecretsUK idk, maybe I'm just a little crazy, but wheels and battery pack make me rethink how I'll use a 12v fridge. Because it's from Anker and I trust that company, I actually don't mind the idea of paying that kind of money so much. Doesn't change the fact that it's overpriced for the average person, of course
Both units NO WIFI 👎🏻I bought this unit for my security camera system for when the power goes out and continues running and monitoring the system Remotely ,Buy because this unit doesn’t have WIFI 🛜 for me was USELESS I returned
I really wish you would have told me if you need both panels. I have one plugged in and there is no input. Can’t find that answer anywhere. 😠
Jacket looks good and the pit zipper is what a rain jacket really needs and love the chest left pocket., but I am not excited of the front zippers and don't know who design a rain jacket with front pockets way to highway to long and they open from the top down . A rain jacket zipper should open from the bottom up and let the rain slip down and not collected in between. Poor design and that is a not for me. Thanks for posting
How has this worked for you , during the winter months. Iv got a Eco River2 Max with 160Watt Solar panels. And a small Office , that in general is two monitors and laptop. So wondering did you contune to use the Solar for your office or was it too much effort ?
