ADVANCED ELEMENTS 5 Gallon Solar Shower Silver/Black — Portable Foldable Camp Shower with Temperature Gauge

The ADVANCED ELEMENTS 5 Gallon Summer Shower is a foldable, solar-heated portable shower that warms water quickly and delivers an on/off shower flow for outdoor bathing.

This compact solar shower uses a four-layer design to capture and keep heat, making it simple to enjoy warm water while camping, at the beach, or on remote job sites. Lightweight and rollable when empty, the 5-gallon bag includes practical details—an easy-fill valve, temperature gauge, toiletry pocket, Velcro straps for washcloths and a shut-off nozzle—to streamline rinsing without wasting water.

How does the solar heating work and how fast does it warm water?

The bag’s four-ply construction layers (reflector, insulator, solar panel and reservoir) maximize sunlight absorption and reduce heat loss so you get warmer water in less time. In direct sun the unit can reach comfortable temperatures within a few hours depending on conditions.

• Four-layer panel layout to trap and reflect solar energy.
• Transparent/black surface orientation optimizes sunlight exposure.
• Temperature gauge shows when water is ready to use.
• Typical warm-up: up to about 110°F in strong sunlight under ideal conditions.

How do I fill, hang and operate the shower on a trip?

Filling is quick through the oversize twist-off cap; just hold under a faucet, use a gravity-fed source, or pour from a container. Hang the filled bag from a sturdy branch, pole or shower stand; the included materials and design make it stable for showering. The hand-held showerhead has an on/off valve so you control water flow and conserve the 5-gallon supply.

• Extra-large filling valve with twist-off cap for fast refills.
• Top hanging loop supports gravity feed for steady flow.
• On/off nozzle prevents waste between rinses.
• Compact roll-up storage when empty for easy packing.

What features improve convenience and durability outdoors?

The Summer Shower includes useful camp-friendly touches: a pouch for toiletries, Velcro straps to hold washcloths, and a reflective mirror to check appearance. Its heavy-duty multi-layer fabric is engineered to resist punctures and maintain insulation through repeated use and travel. Small but thoughtful details reduce setup time and make the unit more versatile on outdoor trips.

• Integrated toiletry pocket for soap, shampoo, or razor.
• Velcro straps keep cloths and sponges accessible.
• Durable four-ply shell built for rugged outdoor use.
• Built-in temperature gauge and reflective mirror included.

How much water does it hold and how portable is it?

The shower holds up to 5 gallons (about 19 liters), balancing enough capacity for multiple short rinses with light packability. When empty it weighs around one pound four ounces and rolls up small, so it tucks into most vehicle trunks, bike panniers or camping packs. Because the flow is gravity-driven and controlled at the nozzle, you can stretch the water for efficient use.

• 5-gallon capacity suitable for quick rinses or one longer shower.
• Lightweight — approximately 1 lb 4 oz empty — for easy transport.
• Rolls up compactly for storage in tents, gear lockers, or RV bays.
• Gravity-fed, on/off nozzle helps conserve every gallon.

Who this is for: outdoorspeople who want a simple hot-water option without batteries or hookups — campers, backpackers with car-camp setups, beachgoers, fishermen, vanlifers, and anyone needing a portable rinse station. If you value easy setup, compact storage and the ability to heat water using only sunlight, this ADVANCED ELEMENTS Summer Shower is a practical, low-tech solution for stays away from fixed plumbing.
