For those that might be interested in the Nemo Helio shower, I just got an e-mail from them (somehow I must have signed up for it when on their website) with a 15% off coupon. See details below.

Amazon has the Nemo Helio Pressure Shower (via Moosejaw) for $79.99 now. I may have to finally pull the trigger on this one.

We followed BrianW's link and bought the Nemo shower on sale. Haven't field-tested it yet (June is coming) but it's well-built, as you'd expect from Nemo, nicely packaged and should work.

I have quite a bit of experience using those garden sprayers for showers over the years. Yes, the best aspect is the slow water usage with the fine spray. Water can heat up a little bit from the sun in the sprayer, but what I do is heat my water in a solar bag shower, and then transfer that hot water to the garden sprayer.

Heating on a stove first works too, just be careful.

The Nemo shower kit has been officially adopted in our SMB

Anyone with the Nemo have any impressions from the field? I have a Big Kahuna, but it does take up a fair amount of space, and it requires a 12V hookup.

I can get 20% off one full price item at REI this weekend, so I'm considering picking up a Nemo shower.

No field test here yet but we're impressed with its construction and storage size. Big qxn is how quickly will it warm up? I think we really like the spray nozzle vs. our solar shower. Field test coming in two weeks, en route to Jackson.

Just used mine and its way better then the old solar on I had. Now with that said I filled it with hot water when I drove by a store and used it when I made it to camp. I did need to keep pumping it up to keep pressure up but it was a huge improvement.

Thanks guys, I went ahead and ordered one. With a 20% discount, I have one being shipped for $79.89 plus tax.

I like the Big Kahuna shower I have, but it takes up a fair amount of space and needs 12V for the pump.
