Camping Shower - Solar - 5 gal

Boondocking and hot water!! I’ve had my Coleman 5 gallon solar shower for just over 10 years. One of the better purchases I have made. Make sure you place the black side to the ground, clear side up to the sky and usually have hot water within an hour! Always check the temperature before using though. Sometimes it can get to hot:(. My only con about the solar shower is that when it is full it is just to hard ti hang it from anything for your shower. I put it onto of my truck topper. The hose is a few feet long which works perfect for me. I’m 5’4. I recommend Coleman solar shower for anyone. Not just boondockers!

I use on my property that connects with my mom's property. I slept in my van on my land this summer and this portable shower is useful for showering, handwashing and cleaning containers. I recommend hangng as high as possible so that the nozzle is positioned, and you do not have to bend over to allow the water to flow over your body. I flll the bag. I transport to my sunny showering spot. The handle could be stronger so carry with caution. The sun does its thing. Later, I take a nice, warm soapy shower. If you can, find a permanent, sunny place to hang your shower. Then hang the empty bag. Next, fill with water. Use when you are ready. Repeat because the shower is reusable

Good but not great: the handle for hanging is sturdy—reinforced by wood, which is a definite plus. But, the nozzle on/off is very difficult to open and close, especially with wet & soapy hands. A valve would be a MUCH better control. The fill port cap is VERY easy to dislodge so when heating a near full bag in the sun, the bag needs to be propped upright to avoid the cap coming off—suggest a SCREW fill port cap to prevent this from happening. I would not buy this again due to these fairly significant problems, but will continue to use until the bag wears out.

This solar shower is a great in-field camping alternative when no in-campground hot water shower is available. My son and I have just replaced the ones we wore out when we’ve taken them to Bonnaroo Music & Arts Fsstival for the last 5 years....filling them with cold wellwater, then after a couple of hours’ heating in the sun on top of our cars parked beside our tents, have enjoyed hot, refreshing, cleansing showers, allowing us to return to the festival to enjoy more great music! Thanks Coleman for such a great product!

During April 27, 2011 tornado breakout, we used these for 2 months and I was so very impressed. I highly recommend these Coleman portable solar shower bags! You can take a long hot shower by yourself or you can shower 1 adult and 2 small children per bag. Fill with water, lay on the ground with solar side up. An hour in the sun heats the bag well and stays hot for a long period. I would leave ours in the sun for a few hours for hotter water. Absolutely love and recommend this product!

This Coleman portable shower its a must if your doing some tent camping and need to wash off for the day.. Its compact and easy to carry once full. Capacity is 5 gallons which is more than enough for a quicksilver. Hang it over a tree branch and vuala... you got yourself a shower. Leave it in the sun and it will warm it up perfect for a nice warm evening shower.. My only complain is the little shower head. Wish the holes on it were a little bigger other than that works perfect!!

Works excellent for the first ten showers until the score lines along the upper bag horizontal with its handle begin separating. I am stuck in the woods having to improvise a means to hold the solar shower for washing and I only have a casting net that may suffice. A product improvement might include a holding apparatus and or the product redesigned with a beefier material along the area that failed here. Otherwise it's be 5 stars (price and convenience)
