Laid it out in the sun all day as directed and the water was HOT come sundown. We hung it from a nail that already existed on the tree after filling it up 90%. Hubby had to carry it as it was quite heavy. Love the built in hook feature that made the nozzle easy to hook when we weren’t using it. I recommend this bag.

This is the 3rd bladder I bought so far. I bought a bladder some 3 years ago and it just wasn't good enough. The bladder material wasn't good. I threw it away. I then bought another type and the material was good but water shut off mechanics was poorly designed. It broke on my hand. I ended up throwing that away too. I then ran into this, the Stern Sun shower. I actually bought it at a camping store near my house. What a good product. I gave it to a relative of mine that is into camping as well. I then bought the second Stern Sun Shower and a man in a camping site in Central America ( I was camping and hiking there) saw it and bought my tent, shower bladder, and shower tent. He bought the hole thing. I came back to the states empty. Lol. And now this is the third Stern Sun Shower I buy. I love this product. I like the sturdiness of the handle where you feet the rope through. I like how the material heats up the water quick and the water temperature reader on the bladder is pretty accurate. The shut off mechanism for the water is simple. The water flow is nice. The ability to control the flow of water is well designed and easy to manage. I don't even look at other bladders out there. I know this one and it works great. So why reinvent the wheel right.

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2021

I bought this with some concern but this one is working very well. I use it with my van at the beach a lot. best to have something to hang the bag on, but not essential. I like the shower head better, it now justs twists on and off and much better constructed than the older bags. Much better if you have a VW or other van to use this versus a tubular solar shower that costs 15-20 times more and has to be secured to the top of the van or take up a lot of space inside.

Update. I had it hanging on the side of car and it fell of, got a very small leak. I fixed it with Aqua Seal, great product, no leaks.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 gallons instead of 5, is enough
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2019
Verified Purchase
I like how the screw cap is off center. it seals nicely and is hard to cross thread.

I recommend users who will leave this hanging for extended periods, get a 3/4" diameter oak dowell to extend across the whole upper portion rather than use the flexible PVC tube provided.

The Screw nozzle is a bit of a pain to open and close with soapy hands, but it is nie that it does not leak.

The hose will seperate from the bag body if yanked on hard enough. I recommend gluing it in place, and using a longer hose than the one provided.

I was using the advanced elements 5 gallon summershower previously. Their prie increases had be search out other options. The summershower clones are sompletely worthless. This stearns is good. I like it, do not miss that extra gallon. With a little spit and polish these can be made reliable and more convenient. It is as good as the advanc elements summershower and I expect it to last longer as i use it, as there is one less gallon of water weight to rip the handle from bag body.

If the Advance elements 5 gallon summershower and this bag were thesame price, I'd opt for this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommend for Fall Hunting
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2010
Verified Purchase
I purchased this solar shower to replace a cheaper one made by Ozark Trails. I read many many reviews of a number of Solar Showers and based on reviews, I decided on this one. I use a solar shower on Fall Camping trips and I highly recommend this Stearns 4 gal model (and when I bought it from amazon, it was cheaper than the smaller models).

This shower has a clear side, with the opposite inside surface being black, allowing sun rays to penetrate the clear plastic, penetrate through the water then be absorbed by the black plastic inside (the gold colored plastic side pictured is gold on the outside and black on the reverse side (inside).

The plastic was very thick Heavy Duty plastic. The Gold Side was even thicker and "quilted" presumably to insulate the water inside- especially useful if laying the shower on the cold ground. The fill cap was large, as pictured, which made it easier to fill. I double rinsed the bag with baking soda before the using it which made the reported chlorine negligible.

With an ambient air temperature starting at 55F and increasing to 60 F, on a sunny day, the shower heated up to 98 F in about 3.5 hours. When it was time to shower, the peak temperature of the day had come and went, so the shower lost 2F in about 10 minutes.

The nozzle was not particularly hard to operate even with soapy hands. By turning the flow off and on as needed, there was more than ample water to double wash/ rinse my man-hair and take a rather leisurely 8- 10 minute shower. As with any bag of water, you will have to hang it higher than your head to get water pressure with the nozzle at head level. I sit on a folding tripod seat with the shower as high as I can hang it and nozzle pressure at head level is fine.

I have tried them all and this one holds up over time, all the others leak and crack at the top handle, after a couple years in the sun this will leak as well but holds up well and gives you a hot shower even when it is 50F outside as long as the sun it out.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't trust these, they are not built like they used to be
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2021
Verified Purchase
My family has been using one of these Stearns bags for the last three years of camping. Because it held up so much better than bags from other brands, I decided to buy another. I bought it well in advance of our camping trips, so that I wouldn't be scrambling at the last minute. I cleaned and dried it, and used it one three night trip. After that, I dried it, and prepared for another trip. We filled it with water, and noticed that the valve was leaking. No matter how tightly it was turned, it still leaked.

These things are not expensive, and they work well as long as you have sunlight, but failing after just one short trip is unacceptable. It's not so much about the cost, as I think hot showers are almost priceless when camping, but it's a lot of plastic waste for one trip.

I won't be buying any Stearns products in the future, and can't recommend them to anyone.

We have used Stearns 2.5 gallon Sun showers for years at camp and they are sturdy and functional and reasonably priced.
We purchased a larger 4 gallon size to heat more water which we can add to the smaller bags as we use them for showers (there are more people than shower bags and the 2.5 gallon bags were out of stock when I ordered. This may work out better for us!)

The plastic on this is very thick. The twist open shower nozzle is easy to quickly turn on and off allowing for very little water being wasted. The opening to fill the bag is nice and large which allows for easy filling. Compared to other shower bags we have purchased this is a far superior product.

Full sun required and you have hot water in about 4 hours. You have to be careful with the cheap plastic shower head. Overall, this saved us out in the remote wilderness with a hot shower whenever we wanted it. It wont hold temperature out of sun so you need to use it before the sun goes down. Recommended highly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does the trick
Reviewed in Canada on August 24, 2023

It is great. It heats up well in the sun or even if you leave it in a hot vehicle. I wish it came with a hook of some kind to attach to a tree or something strong, but that is manageable with a rope or straps. It is strong and does the trick of getting you showered. If you are looking for a high pressured shower like you have at home, this is not for you. Remember, you are camping.
