I'm looking for a good powerbank to take on the ski slopes.

Has to fit into either a small Camelback pocket (Hydroback 1.5L), or an inside jacket pocket without being too bulky - so probably 5k or 10k, up to about the size of an iPhone X/XS/12/13/etc. I have previously used Xiaomi 5k and 10k powerbanks for this purpose and they've been great in terms of size and capacity (5k one came up short a couple of times with multiple people). All the 20k powerbanks I've seen I'd consider too bulky for what I want.

Basically I want to be able to charge up my iPhone and/or GoPro and/or wife's/friend's/random-person-from-the-lift's iPhone while we're sitting around having lunch. Preferably able to charge two - ideally three - devices simultaneously.

Wireless/magsafe charging for iPhone is OK, but I'd really like to have at least one wired fast charge / USB PD 20W port to be able to juice up a device quickly when needed.

No requirement for a USB-A port, all the devices I have will go from USB-C.

USB C / PD to charge the bank itself quickly also a strong want.

It's been ages since I've shopped for one of these and I'm way out of touch with what's currently available.

Thanks.

  I'd really love to know an answer to this as well because I'm in the market for pretty much the same thing. My old Xiaomi one just died so I'm after a new one as well. Only difference is that I need one with USB-A ports on it.

      Yeah I know, I saw that. The ones you linked are 10000mah ones, any 20000mah ones you would recommend?

          @O O: That one actually seems great…any idea if that orange USB-C cable is removeable or is that a fixed part?

            @Devastator0: I'm afraid it's not removable. 😢

              @O O: Ahhh damn, that is unfortunate.
