Comments about Sea to Summit Pocket Shampoo with Conditioner:
The idea of these is great. Simple, lightweight, no leaking, etc. but unfortunately they were unusable. I took these on a 12 day backpacking trip as my shampoo and ended up using the liquid shampoo (camp suds) from the shared gear. Both times I tried them, I put a few of the "papers" in my hand, added water and tried to work into a lather. But it didn't really work and ended up with sticky blobs. Maybe I just didn't use them correctly but based on this experience I would not recommend them.
(Lesson learned: try ALL your gear out before taking it with you)

I tried this out in the shower at home before I head to Iceland later this spring, and it was worthless. Just as previous reviewers have indicated, it simply does NOT work. I gave up trying to get a lather going after using several sheets. The lather never happened. As a matter of fact, nothing ever happened. Disappointed that this is being carried by REI, because I'm not used to buying stuff there that is completely ineffective. Save your money & time: DON'T buy this!

Comments about Sea to Summit Pocket Shampoo with Conditioner:
This product leaves clumps in my hair after washing. Where there aren't clumps you will find a horrible filmy buildup. I have tried a similar product that is just shampoo, and that works much better. At least the just shampoo product washes your hair. I'll be traveling to Peru with just the shampoo product. I tried this combo product for a little conditioning, but was not impressed.

Comments about Sea to Summit Pocket Shampoo with Conditioner:
I took these on a backpacking trip across Spain where I had access to showers, but still had to carry everything I needed. When I got the leaves out in the shower, the others stuck together, so I ended up with a large clump of useless goo. I also had the problem of them clumping in my hair - and I was pulling little bits of shampoo leaves out of my hair the whole trip.
Not to mention, my hair never felt clean.
I didn't expect them to replace normal shampoo, but I wasn't happy with the way they worked, overall.

Comments about Sea to Summit Pocket Shampoo with Conditioner:
I recently bought this in preparation for a backpacking trip to India and really wanted to like this... The concept is a great one, but the product just doesn't work. As other reviewers have said, it isn't easy to get just one sheet out in the shower, & unfortunately, it takes a lot more than one sheet to wash your hair. Frankly, I'm not sure how many sheets it takes because I gave up after a few and used the shampoo that the hotel supplied because with hot water being at a premium in India, I didn't have the time to fool around with the sheets & trying to get a lather! These may work for guys with a military haircut, but good luck to anyone with more hair than that. (I have short hair, btw.)

Comments about Sea to Summit Pocket Shampoo with Conditioner:
Bought for rafting trip. Didn't dispense as wafers but in one big piece. Did not disolve in the cold water in river nor, later, in a shower. Left big clumps of shampoo in my hair that I had to comb out. Had to heat water on the campfire to completely get it out. Horrible stuff!

Comments about Sea to Summit Pocket Shampoo with Conditioner:
You'd be much better off shaving some pieces off of a bar of soap and put them in a zip lock bag. I had high hopes b/c of airline travel but this is a waste. I'm going to try bar shampoo and see how that works.
