Boy, the CarBack is not an attractive unit to my eye. Not that Varia, Gardia, or Magene are either; I guess I’m hoping an Italian gets in the game and designs something elegant. Varia looks like a pawpaw dangling out the back. I know there’s not a lot of leeway to work with, but one can dream.
That CarBack is USB-C is the most attractive thing about it. Just last weekend I forgot to pack out the USB mini (or whatever) for the Varia— well, it was a case of cable misidentification— and was saved only because my clubmate brought this huge power block tower contraption and a tangle of cables. It would be great to be able to eliminate a cable. It would be cheaper just to buy that Trek charging box, though…
