I've used a solar charger before but it was, frankly a bit shit, not this brand or price though so any thoughts?

I've used their smaller device, power monkey explorer, I found the charge time using solar was extremely long, mostly overcast grey sky, in bright sunshine it still took all day. So was not feasible to use as intended (to charge phone, GPS and MP3 on multi day trip).
I have recently been looking at GoalZero products which use a more efficient solar panel (that work better in grey skies) and are reasonable priced. They will be available in the UK this autumn apparently.
