Advanced Elements Backpacker Summer Shower (5 Gallon)

Best of the Solar Showers
I've been using solar showers for car camping for a many years now. Having a nice hot shower for my travels to Baja CA and all over the Southwest is much nicer than trying to wash up using a basin. All my previous solar showers have had a pop-off filling valve which has always been extremely difficult to remove and a definite weak point on the shower as it will be the first point to rip after some use. This shower has a nice twist-off filling valve that is very easy to open. The quality of the shower is very good but made of very lightweight material. I assume this is to appeal to backpackers. Being a backpacker myself, I would not take something this large on a trip, so I wish they would make it a bit heavier duty and just market it strictly to car campers, boaters, and the like. They could then make a lightweight, smaller size geared strictly for backpackers. For now, this is the best that I've seen of the solar showers for car camping--if you don't rough house with it!

works ok
works ok, this is a little bulky. its a nice idea for car camping, but otherwise i prefer to go light and skip this.
