I used this speaker during the summer time and it is great for fishing on a sunny day. I leave it out in the sun while I fish to make sure the battery stays charged. The sound is really nice and the quality is really nice. I dropped it a few times while I was packing up. It took some damage when it dropped onto the ground but it is still fully functional! The only thing that I might change is the buttons. Because they are covered in a rubber material it can be difficult to press sometimes.
