   Buyer beware, there's a reason they named it SUMMER. it never warms up in the fall, at least here at 9,000ft in backwoods Colorado. I just pour hot water in from a pot with a funnel. Works great, I use it every day since I have no running water. Can't wait for next summer to see if our weather Is hot enough for solar heatingm.

   This is my 3rd solar shower. After 24+ years in the military, almost all of which in special operations, these, and my little espresso cooker, providerd me with untold hours of comfort: an espresso (or mocha with MRE or C-rat chocolate drink powder) and a warm shower. This particular model is much nicer and much more elaborate than I've ever owned before. Absolutely no leaky seams, hose or nozzle. No kinks in the hose and the handle and hanging strap with Fastex fastener are very sturdy and will preclude the need for paracord to hang it. I'm preparing to go out of country again and this upgrade to what I've been using is like going from a Toyota to a Land Rover. The thermometer and mesh pocket are nice touches. The little mirror is a neat bonus. To the one reviewer who said it is as reflective as Aluminum foil - It works better if you peel the protective plastic shipping cover off the surface, then you will find a very nice, distortion free mirror. This shower costs a little more than most of the other ones on the market, but well worth every penny of price difference.

   I travel a lot over the summer in my hippie dippie van which doesn't have a shower. I purchased this as a backup but it works great so I use it everyday while camping. I can get three showers out of it if I don't wash my hair, two if I do (I'm 5'6", 140lbs). I also use it throughout the year for rinsing off my Labrador after going to the lake or dog parks. Extremely handy to have around. The clasp on the handle is a bit cheap which is why I only gave durability 4 stars but the bag and the twist cap itself are great. I just replaced the cheap nylon handle with some nylon rope that I can change the length as needed. I did like the handle though...wish I could incorporate that onto my rope. The bag is fairly easy to clean as well. I use water/vinegar, same as my CamelBak. I'd definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a travel shower. Oh and it heats up fairly quickly. Overall very happy with it.

   This shower bag is awesome! We just used it for camping recently and it performed much better than expected. We were able to get 2 full showers out of 3/4 filled bag and that’s including washing my hair with shampoo and full rinse.

   Took it on two camping trips and used the warm/hot water to wash dishes. It heated up to 110-116 degrees on a sunny day, took about half a day to reach that temperature. The water didn't go higher than 116 after a full day in the sun even though there is a mark for 120 degrees. The water felt warm enough to use for a shower. I haven't used it as a shower yet. The bag is very heavy when filled (41 lbs for 5 gallons) so I'm not sure how well it would hang in a shower tent. If using it as a shower, I recommend hanging the bag high so the water can flow better. Otherwise, there will be a bend in the hose, slowing the flow. I also think 5 gallons should be enough water for showering two girls with long hair.

   My new house won't be ready until October and I had no idea that my former home would sell on the first day. I purchased a 10x20 shed and placed it on the 35 acres I am building on. Going into my fifth week of 'roughing it,' I have relied upon this solar shower and use it every day. I've learned that it takes no more than 2 hours tops to reach a very comfortable temperature if you place it clear side up on the ground. Today was a cloudy day with a high of 70-degrees, and my afternoon shower was comfortably warm. Regardless of the outside air temperature and the sky cover, I have used this every day for four complete weeks with total satisfaction. Frankly, I use no more than 3 of the 5 gallons/use and shower for approximately 10 minutes. Excellent product. If I can use this every day for a month, you should have no problems over a camping weekend in the woods, etc.

   Boy is this product awesome. I happen to work out side a lot and always seem to get dirty. I got this product so I could clean up before I went into the house. I filled,it up with 4-5 gallons of water and set it outside in the sun. It sure did heat up,quickly. What is neat is the that the water bag has a temperature gage on the clear side of the bag so you can see if the water will be cold or warm or hot. The last time I used it the water was 104 degrees and it was just Luke warm, but, the next time after setting it in the hot sun the water was hot just like my shower in the house. The hose device is super easy to use and does cut off the water when you are finished washing off. The water pressure is based on how high the bag is elevated when you are showering. As the bag holds just 5 gallons be sure to wash quickly.

   This product is far superior to the basic black bag version in the stores. Granted, you are paying a fair amount more but it's night and day. For the few times a year we use this it is well worth it. The features, ease of use and nozzle/valve design make it a joy to have on the camping trip. The cheapo bag has a valve that leaks nonstop, and is really difficult to operate with shampoo in your face. This one is comparatively very easy to open and close. The shower bag has some features we likely won't use but could be handy for some- mesh pockets for toiletries, an attached mirror, and a couple of clip things on the corners I haven't figured out. But the killer feature is the LCD thermometer that tells you where the temp is- you won't freeze or scald. Overall construction is good, they should last for many years with reasonable care.
