Goal Zero Yeti 300
Goal Zero's compact entry: rugged and IPX4-rated, but you pay a premium over similar-capacity rivals for the drop-and-splash toughness.
Best for: Overlanders and job sites where the unit gets wet and knocked around.
Where it falls short:
- 350W output runs devices, not appliances
- $299 for 297Wh is pricey per watt-hour

- Smaller brand and support network
- 54.3 lb
