If you've used gravity shower contraptions designed for camping you'll realise just what a breakthrough these showers are. The Nemo Helio shower systems are truly awesome products. Pair with Heliopolis™ privacy shelter, which has a fitted nozzle holder for hands-free overhead showering, for the ultimate home-away-from-home shower in the backcountry.Ĭlick here for more info on Nemo, their history, design philosophy and information on how they work responsibly. The 7-foot neoprene hose is long enough to hold it overhead for a shower, or to reach all angles of dirty gear, muddy paws, or salty wetsuits. Refill Helio™ anywhere, even without a hose. Set the black tank in the sun to warm up gradually, or fill it directly with hot water for a warm shower. You can quickly and easily pressurize the voluminous 5.8-gallon tank with a foot pump – and with occasional pumps you can keep it fully pressurized for 7-10 minutes of strong, continuous spray.

Unlike gravity camp showers that need to be hung overhead and produce dismal water pressure, Helio™ LX rests securely on the ground and delivers the pressure you need to wash hair, do the dishes, rinse off gear, water your plants, or wash the dog. The Helio LX Pressure Shower uses a 22 litre welded fabric water tank, pressurized by a foot pump to give you 7-10 minutes of steady water. Sometimes what you really want to round out a perfect day of hiking or surfing is a good hot shower.
