Re: Has anyone hiked with the Goal Zero Switch 8 Solar Recharging Kit? The whole kit is only 90 grams.

Wow, is that web page misleading:

Q:
What is the total weight of the solar panel + chargercable + switch8
battery? I'm planning on buying it and taking it with me when I go hiking
next month and every gram counts in this situation. Thanks!

   I thought the Kit included the solar panel (I thought it included
   everything shown on the order page).
