What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for Soto WindMaster
Best Praise
+80 pts“I love my Soto windmaster. It’s a lot heavier at 67g but its construction and build quality is far more confidence inspiring than the brs. Also its more efficient so you could theoretically get away with bringing less fuel”
r/Ultralight
ViewTop Criticism
+4 pts“Soto Windmaster is $70 to save 20g. That doesn't seem like a good $/g tradeoff. I need to weigh the actual lighter I use, which I haven't done. The weight posted was an estimate. No bidet. Perhaps I will go that route in the future, but right now I am just not comfortable with the idea.”

What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for Nitecore NB10000
Best Praise
+58 pts“A single large power bank will probably take more time to recharge, than say three NB-10000. Also will have less redundancy and be a single point of failure than three NB-10000. Also for group trips three separate NB-10000 will let 3 different people use them (and carry them) than a single power bank. Also for shorter trips maybe only taking one of the NB-10000 is feasible. And one can get 3 wall chargers to parallel charge three NB-10000. In summary, I can understand why there not too many larger powerbanks sold.”
r/Ultralight
ViewTop Criticism
+20 pts“That doesn’t suprise me. I had 3 or 4 different bum power banks from Nitecore. They get recommended a lot due to the weight stats but you don’t have to look real far to find folks who have had issues with them.”
