For that jungle experience
We bought this as we were having our bathroom refitted and have no other options. We also bought a small tent which we hang it through. Worked really really well. As long as it’s up very high then gravity kicks in and you get a steady flow. If you fill it with warm water, it does stay warm for the duration of the shower. We decided to keep it afterwards to use on our dogs when they get muddy in the winter.
shower head is made of breakable plastic and will break if not careful
I’ve had this product a while now,I used it every day for watering veg,fruit and flowers,the shower is fantastic and well up for the job having a constant and even flow and it also holds a high volume of water, but,unfortunately the actual shower head is made of breakable plastic and as you’ve probably guessed I’ve stood on mine and broke it so it’s no loger usable,I’ve not been able to find any online or via camping stores,so I am hoping someone out there will know where I can get a replacement from
Simple sun-powered shower solutio
Simply placing the bag half filled with water on the roof of the van and with reasonable sunshine it heated to a comfortable temperature, just be realistic, on an overcast day there is no opportunity to harvest heat from the sun so the water temperature will stay ambient.
Surprised how good this was
We took this to Glastonbury festival and left it on the bonnet of our campervan. We used it to have rinse off shower gel rather than have a full shower but we were all pretty pleased with it.

If your in a jam and have no boiler for hot water theses are great. The best way to use them is fill them with a bit of cold water first then boil the kettle and fill them up to suit how hot you want them
To those complaining of kinks in the tubing, I poured boiling water over and this is the result! No kinks – could’ve been packaged better to save doing this but all seems fine! Not usd yet but will review again on my wilderness trip next month but so far very satisfied
Fab sturdy product, but…..
Fab product, only downside that I found was the buckle wasn’t able to hold the full weight of the bag. It kept unclipping itself when hung up. Good hardwearing product tho.
Looks Grea
On opening the shower bag, we noticed that the pipe with the fitted shower head was creased. We fitted pipe to bag & with finger & thumb tried to undo the crease, but no good. So we filled bag with warm water & opened shower tap & only a trickle of water came out. Very dissatisfied on the pipe condition. Bought a new pipe that doesn’t crease & it worked fine.
Love this! Such a simple concept, and works brilliantly. Bought off of a recommendation from a friend. Full tank of water will heat up to 30+ degrees within 4 to 5 hours of being sat know the dash board in some half decent sun. Good enough pressure when sat on the top of my T5, and holds more than enough water. I did have to trim the hose down a little, and the red cap on the tap handle leaked at first. But easily fixed with a little glue. Great price. Would definitely recommend.
If anyone is interested, I was the person who asked the question of whether it would work for cleaning a dogs stomach. Only 2 people said yes, others were negative. My dog has a skin infection and was given shampoo to try to sort him but he’s a big dog and I can’t get him in the bath so I needed something to wash him with.
It arrived today and I tested it by filling it with lukewarm water as I don’t plan to leave it out the test the solar part. This is the part I’m unsure works as intended. The shower itself worked a treat and I was able to wash his underneath while someone else held the bag up high enough for the water to come out. No leaks or tears so fa
We bought this for showering at home while our bathroom was being redone. It worked very well. It arrived pre-assembled and did the job, although we replaced the hose after a few days as we wanted to ensure longevity of a few weeks and the original hose was being bent when we put it in the sink to fill it.
We hung it on an outside hook intended for hanging baskets which was fine, the bag is very heavy when full so make sure you have something strong to hang it on. The shower head can be turned on and off so you don’t waste water while scrubbing.
To fill it there were 2 options, firstly when we didn’t have hot water it took 6 kettles to fill (quarter kettle boiled then topped up to the brim with cold). Option 2 straight from the hot tap – game changer! The kettle method takes a good 20 mins although obviously this is far preferable to leaving the bag in the sun.
All in all a great little product which saved a lot of time and prevented the need for a temporary gym membership!
Positives: easy to use, robust, holds enough water for a decent ladies shower including long hair/condition/full body shave.
Negatives: the temperature indicator didn’t really work (but we didn’t need it to)
Neutral: it has to be hung quite high so that tall people can use it. We ended up buying a small plastic stool so we could sit and shower.
Handy
Tested but not used on site as yet. Will top up with warm water if does not heat with solar. It’s cheap and will enable a good scrub in the shower tent. What more do you need for 18 quid.?
Great showe
I bought this for my son who recently purchased a campervan. He has used it a few times and thinks its excellent.
Just leave the bag full of water on the top of your van in sunlight all day. Come back and hey presto, a warm shower. He just hooks it onto the side of the van for his shower. It really is convenient, doesn’t use up any valuable storage space and saves the expense of having to pay to stay on a site to get a warm shower.
Ensure the transparent side faces the sun.
I find this works quite well in England on a sunny, summer’s day if you don’t fill it to capacity and make sure the transparent side faces the sun. When wildcamping, I lie my ‘Risepro’ down horizontally in a sheltered but sunny spot in the morning and leave it. I then have some warm water when returning to camp at the end of the day. I have not tried it during the colder seasons.
Good camping showe
A sturdy shower fit for the purpose and holds a suitable amount of water One negative is that the hose come off every now and again. It needs to be secured with a small cable tie.
surprisingly good
This product is very good for outdoor camping or just washing the dog. It’s very strong so could be hung in a tree or something like that but quite heavy when full with wate
It’s a basic product but does what it needs to do and water reaches a good temperature (weather dependent obviously). I only fill it 1/3 or else it’s tricky to lift overhead to hang it up, kneeling down means I have decent pressure to have a shower off the back of my high top campervan. I like that you can shut it off whilst washing hair and not waste any water. The velcro strap that allows you to clip the showerhead facing “up” in storage means no worries about leaks. I push a coathanger into the big hole to allow it to dry thoroughly if not using it for a while. Would recommend.
This shower bag is far superior to the cheaper shower bags. The larger shower head and tap are great assets. We live in Portugal and the extremely high temperatures do perish the plastic tap and shower head after a couple of years or so of use but we still felt these bags were worth purchasing and have just bought another one.
This was purchased so I was able to get a shower, having had a hip replacement and unable to get in the shower above my bath. Thankfully the weather has been amazing and together with a pop up tent I’ve managed to have a shower every day. Negatives- the bag leaks, only a dribble. Had to top up with hot water each time despite the hottest summer weather. Positives- it has been amazing to be ables to get a proper shower, the head can be turned off so water isn’t wasted, there is a net bag for shampoo, etc and a place to hang a towel. All in all amazing!
I was surprised that this worked so well. I bought this to use at a large event where i knew that access to showers would be limited. It was a fairly hot sunny day – around 28 degrees and I flled it around half full and left it for around 4 hours after which the water was far hotter than I expected and more than enough for 3 or 4 good showers. I’ve only rated it 4 stars as the instructions are poor and assembly of the handle tricky (I still don’t know if I’ve done it right) and the tube disconnects from the bag or shower head very easily meaning you can lose all of the water.
This nice solar shower bag arrived just in time on Monday as my shower/bath tub was taken out due to refurbishment.
My new shower and bath room will take around 4 days before its ready hence I splashed out a bit more for a better shower bag.
After careful research I needed a luxury version that holds at least 20 l of water and importantly a decent looking shower head piece.
The bag itself looks very high quality and all the joinings and seams are plastic welded to a very good standard.
After reading the instructions I began to look at the pieces that came with the kit.
The clear material with the cut outs for threading the black plastic tube through looked and gave me the impression that its weak. But it actually coped well with a full capacity of water.
I found the final strap through the plastic buckle very hard to attach and sussing out and ended up tying a knot. Once the knot was done I also found out that the soft short tube wasn’t to be threaded through the plastic tube but rather through the hollow rubber handle piece. I don’t remember any mention if this in the instruction sheet which could do with updating.
The clear large tubing with the lovely and decent sized shower head was exactly how I wanted it to be. The tube end was cut jagged so I cut it straight to ensure a tight and good fit onto the water exiting pipe.
The instructions didn’t mention specifically and importantly to install the clear tubing/shower head with valve turned off before filling with water.
I learned the hard way as I filled up and wondered why my feet were wet?
The temperature monitor strip on the back of the bag is handy to check the water temperature.
Because I’m using it in my backyard during the refurb I can for example fill it half or more with cold water and then top up with some hot water. But don’t pour hot or boiled water into the bag first because it may melt the bag plus its could scald you. Do so at your own risk.
I’ve had two nights worth of a fantastic outdoor shower experience and I am very happy with this solar shower bag.
Thank you!
Very useful for a situation where there is no handy shower – works well especially in the hot summer we are having. The only weak point is the hose. It is made of plastic that is too soft. It buckles too easily when it gets warm and stops the flow of water to the shower head. The hose needs to be made of a stronger grade of plastic. Otherwise very good.
