Works great

Rating:*****
This is the first time I've used a solar shower and my expectations were low. After wrestling with the most effective way to fill the solar shower (that's really the most awkward part of using it), I concluded that I should fill another container and pour H2O into the shower rather than trying to fill the shower directly in the lake. I left the shower on warm rocks in the sun for a couple of hours and tried it out. It worked great! The shower had enough "pressure" to wash/rinse my long, thick hair and there was plenty of H2O left for a couple of additional showers.

Too large!

Rating:****
I use it for high altitude backpacking. There is nothing like a warm shower even with minimal gear. The biggest problem with this is its efficiency. I use it for two people and really it would do well for four! It still doesn't warm the outside air, so showers are quick. For packing, the tube is so hard to pack and it takes up too much room in the pack. It is hard to fill, but then again, the bag doubles as a fire water reservoir and fire ring extinguisher.

Almost better then a house shower

Rating:****
I used this product while out on a 3 week camping and mountain biking adventure through Colorado and Utah. I set up camp, filled the shower, hung it and went for a ride. By the time I returned, the water was warm and refreshing. It worked great for rinsing dishes and to quickly wash your face in the morning. This has to be one best camping accessory's that I have purchased in awhile.

5 Gallon Camp Shower...

Rating:****
I guess I wasn't thinking how much 5 gallons is, or weighs. For car camping, which is what I'll be using it for, it works fine...though a little awkward to set up. It might be too big to take backbacking...

It is nice to take a nice rinse at the end of the day.

Negative Reviews:

Poorly made

Rating:*
This is cheap, glued together[...]--we never got to use it--the bag leaked around the shower head and would not hold water. Now I have to send it back--would NOT recommend--pay your money and take your chances!
