Nice camp shower!
I have updated my review from 1 star to 4 stars. Initially, I thought the bag leaked around the roll top handle...but that turned out to be user error. It is critical that you flip the plastic sheet that is adhered around the rim of the bag to the OUTSIDE before rolling. See the attached picture for clarification. This was totally unintuitive to me and so I just wasn't doing it - perhaps they included instructions that I didn't see or (more likely) just didn't read.Anyway, once I learned how to use it properly, it works great! I love the wide top instead of trying to aim a water stream into a small opening. This will also make it much easier when refilling from streams and lakes. I also really like the little hose clip since the screw spigot can be difficult to work with wet/soapy hands (although I do wish the clip was a little bit looser as it's difficult to push the hose into it).I personally prefer rectangular shower bags to this round once since I usually like to place it on the hood of my camper van and this round one tends to roll off. But when it's hung it's great! I hope the durability holds up, though, as it seems to stress the buckle and strap quite a bit when hung full of water.

Worked like a charm
I bought this for an Adirondack camping trip and it worked flawlessly throughout. We put easily 80 gallons thru this bag and it performed great for washing hands and dishes. We never actually showered under it, and honestly it wasn't in direct sunlight long enough to heat up much.The fact that it's a bag made it so much easier to fill from the high set water spigot, since your target is a large opening, not some tiny fill cap... This means I could fill it with the bag sitting on the ground, instead of struggling to hold up a 5 gallon can as I watched my camping neighbor do daily. The hose and sprinkler setup was perfect for dishes and allowed us to stretch 5 gallons out quite a bit. I haven't used it as a dry bag yet, but could totally see it working for that too.

Worth the purchase!
Have been camping for 40 years and am a minimalist. Took my wife and 2 kids to a deep Baja camping trip for their first time. Had to make sure they were comfortable. I usually just shower in the ocean but knew they would need some simple comforts. This shower system was absolutely perfect. Durable, simple, and heated the water up quickly with short amount of time. Highly recommend

Great cheap alternative for camping
We purchased 3 of these for a recent month long boating trip. We chucked them on top of our boat here in the Pacific NW and had warm showers/dishwater every afternoon on the back deck of our boat. Keeping them sealed takes a bit of practice, but once i learned to not overfill them, they worked well. For this price, I was happy they survived one trip as some other more expensive models I have used did not. These are still in great shape and will make next years trip. Did not try to use them as dry bags.

Shower, dry bag, fringing water container or transport
Great product. I especially liked that it is not pvc, and so can be used to transport drinking water as well as being used for a shower. So I bought two, one to use as a shower and one to use to transport water or as a dry bag. They roll up small enough that they dont take up mich room in a pack.The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it could be improved by adding a temp gauge and because the on/ off is difficult when your hands are wet. Needs a lever or ridges on the nozzle.

Amazing quality
Most amazing customer service I have ever had. I received an email making sure I received the product okay and replied about the excellent quality of their product with one question. I told them about a link on the shower house and asked if I should heat it up to straighten it out. I received a reply right away with an apology and to let me know they were sending out another. It arrived the next day! Amazing! A really well put together product, for and finish is flawless. For the money I'm shocked! I'm going to see what else Green Elephant sells, a first class operation. Thanks!

All in all, worth the money & mostly excellent quality w a few minor grievances.
This bag is great. Lots of excellent features and a few that could use an upgrade but all in all I’m happy with it. Good things: quality of bag and hose are excellent and construction is solid. Big bonus: bag sits upright by itself! Can hang too but haven’t had to yet. Feeling like hanging from the plastic clip won’t support the weight so will try to hang using rings for wearing as a dry bag instead; Big open top makes filling it super easy. Way better than having to fill via a small hole on top like many of the other shower bags; Can be used as a dry bag which makes it very versatile and functional; Doesn’t leak if closed up properly - if the inner plastic lip isn’t folded the right way it WILL leak everywhere. Cons: shower head leaks unless you kink tubing when clipping to bag (see 2nd & 3rd pics, 6th pic is fully closed and you can see the drops of water coming out). The shower head slides in to close and out to open, would be nice if they changed it to a screw one. Might make it water tight; Couldn’t fill to actual fill line and close the top appropriately, so capacity is less than stated (but still plenty, see 8th pic); Fabric partir the handle wicks moisture and will dampen anything it’s touching, but won’t soak anything (5th pic). Really the only true negative is the shower head being so leaky on its own. Otherwise it’s a solid option and I’m happy with it.

UPDATED: User error? Cool idea, poorly executed
Update: After writing my initial user review below, the owner of the company reached out to me on Amazon. He sent me a new shower bag, described the proper way to fill and seal the bag, and noted that the strap is not to be used when carrying water, only when the bag is empty or being used as a dry bag. I guess it was user error on my end.Conceptionally, this seemed like a really great idea. I was excited to use this shower bag, but in practice, it sucks. The shoulder strap broke within minutes of use. It's also near impossible to fill the bag without leaking, unless you fill it less than half full. Opt for a traditional shower bag, you'll be happy you did.
