Comments about Seattle Sports Camp Shower - 4 Gallon:
On camping trips, my wife and I have been warm showering with this type of bag for years and have been very happy with the results.
I wouldn't condemn it merely because of the hose length. This can be easily remedied with minimal ingenuity: shorten the hose or coil it.

Comments about Seattle Sports Camp Shower - 4 Gallon:
Bought this to replace our old school solar shower that our Lab puppy chewed up for our windsurf trips.
Best thing is the PVC free material; our old shower still had a noxious odor, even after seven years of use and multiple cleaning attempts with various odor eliminating products! This one has NO ODOR (follow directions and use a baking powder rinse before use).
The only things we changed are:
The hose was way too long, so we simply shortened it to work with our camping set-up, and put a tight zip-tie around the hose to keep the spray nozzle from pulling out.
It is also very economical and since there was only a $2.00 difference between the 2 and 4 gallon models and all we do is "car camping", the 4 gallon model was the easy way to go!
If the puppy gets ahold of this one, we'd buy another since we're so pleased!

Comments about Seattle Sports Camp Shower - 4 Gallon:
I had great plans for this item during a week-long canoe trip. I kept it in the canoe on the front seat daily while fishing or sight-seeing. Or I'd set it on shore in a spot I knew would be sunny all day. I expected a nice warm shower after it being in the sun all afternoon.
I don't believe the temp ever got over 80 degrees. I'd blame it on 75 degree days and a bit of wind, but pavement certainly gets hot on such days. It was certainly in the sun all day. I think it would warm in the desert...but who wants a hot shower in the desert?
All was not lost though as it doubled as weight in the front of the canoe since I was going solo and needed weight in front for stability. It also was used as a hand-wash station and dromedary bag. I'd pump water out with a filtration system into bottles in-camp.
If you give this a shot, try throwing a rock-attached rope over a tree limb and pulling it up. Using it on a branch high enough to still reach resulted in poor water pressure.
I imagine if you were careful you could add hot water and not wreck it to get that hot shower.

After using this camping, there is one serious flaw with this product. The hose is way too long and therefore is almost on the ground.
I am 6 feet tall and I hung this on the tallest tree branch I could reach. The hose still hung down to about a half foot off the ground. As a result, I had to crouch down on the ground in order to be underneath the nozzle. Not a good design.
