I would highly recommend this shower for anyone looking to car camp or have a hot shower during a Ragnar! William T. Porter  |  21 reviewers made a similar statement
It was easy to fill and the cap sealed it tight. D.M.  |  8 reviewers made a similar statement
Even with only a couple of hours of direct sun, the water gets warm enough to shower under. L. Kelley  |  11 reviewers made a similar statement

5.0 out of 5 stars Military love this! June 8, 2010
Color Name:Silver/Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
My son recently returned from his second tour of Afghanistan. His outpost spent 4 months with no running water. I sent him this solar shower so he could have hot water, instead of bathing in a cold mountain stream. 5 stars is not enough for what this shower gave to him! A hot shower!!! A++++ I bought 5 more to send to him so that he could share with the other guys in his unit! It was like Christmas to those guys! Something as simple as a hot shower. I totally recommend this product. If it can survive the conditions in the mountains of Afghanistan, it will hold up for your summer camping trips!

5.0 out of 5 stars Durable and functional December 21, 2008
Color Name:Silver/Black
This shower does what it promises... it gets hot in the sun and it cleans you up! It is stable and durable. We got five showers out of this, not washing our hair. I would think you could get two very nice hair-washing showers out it though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Details make a great shower July 15, 2009
Color Name:Silver/Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the third and best sun shower I've owned. It heats water well, as advertised. I use it camping to wash dishes, to shower and to wash my hands.

The details make this shower stand out from the others I've owned...
* The filling hole has a screw-on cap which easy to put on with one hand.
* There is a mesh pocket on the front. I use it to hold eye glasses or soap.
* You can hang the shower nozzle on either corner of the bag with handy velcro tabs. Very useful because sometimes the nozzle drips if you leave it dangling.
* The carry handle is comfortable

There are two pockets. One for the mirror, so it does't get scratched. Over that pocket, is the mesh pocket for soap, etc. The mirror is about as reflective as tinfoil, btw.

I have one complaint... one seam burst open after it fell off its hanger. Other sun showers I've owned fell many many many times over many years before bursting open at the seam. Despite this, I highly recommend this shower.

6/10/13 eta My replacement shower has fallen many times over the last three years and the seams have held. Two of my friends have since bought this shower and are very happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding product! December 26, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
For some reason my review (along with 30 + others) don't show up on this page. So I thought I would post the link to the other reviews (http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Elements-Gallon-Summer-Shower/product-reviews/B000J2Q0T4/ref=cm_cr_pr_btm_link_next_3?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&pageNumber=3) along with my original review.

Utilized this shower for 4+ months shared between 5-6 men. It is small enough that it dosen't present any sort of physical challenge when carrying it around, the nozzle sprays in a decent pattern and it is durable (survived temperatures in excess of 100 degrees on a daily basis, thrown around etc..). After 4+ months of constant use it was turned over in a serviceable condition to the next group who took our place. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a simple, compact field shower.

This shower was great for camping! We set it out in the sun during the day. In the evening there was plenty of warm water for four of us to take turns getting clean.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could be better July 6, 2010
Color Name:Silver/Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
We are using "solar shower" as an outdoor sink and shower. The tube came kinked and always wants to fall into that position which stops the flow. The nozzle leaks unless we get it above the highest point of the water. It does warm up in a day of full sun but generally these two issues make it far from a high quality product. My concern is that it will not take long for the kinks to become cracks especially with this thing in full sun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ragnar Relay Approved October 25, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
We bought the Summer Shower 5 to take to the Las Vegas Ragnar Relay Race so we could rinse off a bit while on the road. We did't fill it up all the way as we were strapping it to the roof of a Chevy Suburban and were afraid it may start leaking. But, as I said, we strapped it to the roof with a few bungee cords and a carabiner on the handle. When it was time to shower, we attached the shower to the roof rack of the Suburban and hung it over the side. We used a tarp attached to the Suburban for privacy. The shower was nice and warm for two people after being in the October sun of Lake Meade/Las Vegas for about 8 hours. I would highly recommend this shower for anyone looking to car camp or have a hot shower during a Ragnar!

4.0 out of 5 stars So Easy to use.
Really easy item to use. A bit heavy to lift since I am small but I use it for warm water out in my vegetable garden to wash my hands. It's well worth the price!

We use this when we camp on our land. Since we are clearing the land, showers are necessary. I was surprised that two of us could shower and still had water left over.
