Super Solar Shower

Being dirty is not where it's at. That's why showers were invented. Unfortunately, unless you're into freezing your you-know-whats off, showers require power. And that means you can't have a nice hot shower when you're stuck in the middle of the wilderness. Or does it?
Step forward the ingenious Super Solar Shower. This incredibly useful, eco-friendly shower system has been specifically designed for those moments when you want a shower but you're miles from power. And that's because it is heated by everyone's favorite bright orangey thing. No, not Firebox.com, the sun!
Ideal for festival-goers, hikers, campers and trans-globe explorers, the fully-portable Super Solar Shower is essentially a big vinyl bag that heats water using the sun's rays, so you can enjoy a warm shower anytime, anyplace. No plumbing or power required.
Simply fill the bag with water, place it flat with the black side up and leave it out to soak up some rays. The heat time varies depending on the temperature, but on a sunny day at a temperature of 70°F the water temperature will rise to around 105°F in around 3 hours. Be warned though - the temperature can rise as high as 150°F. Ouch!
Once the water is heated simply hang the bag from a branch or some other overhanging thingamabob and get stripping. You can even slip into your bikini and re-enact your favorite shower moment from 'Temptation Island'. (Assuming you're a woman). And with a 20 liter capacity you'll have more than enough water to wash those bugs right out of your hair.
The Super Solar Shower comes with everything you need for an al fresco shower, including shower head, flow control and hanging cord. Pack a decent bar of soap and you'll feel fresh as a daisy, wherever you may roam. Pass the loofah!

"Ace camping/festival accessory. Fill it with water, leave out in the sun, hang on a branch and hey presto - instant warm shower. And festival-goer no longer so predictably crusty."
