Sea to Summit Pocket Shower 10L

The Sea to Summit Pocket Shower is a 10-liter solar-warming camp shower made from 70D waterproof nylon (the same fabric used in Sea to Summit's Lightweight Dry Sacks) that weighs 120 g and packs into its own small zippered pouch. A contoured twist-control showerhead built into the base delivers roughly 8 minutes of flow with the head fully open, making it a practical rinse option for backpacking, car camping, and overlanding base camps.

Solar Heat, No Fuel Required

The Pocket Shower's black 70D nylon fabric absorbs solar radiation throughout the day, warming the water inside without a stove, fire, or any additional gear. At base camp, filling the shower in the morning and leaving it in the sun means a warm rinse is ready by afternoon, a meaningful comfort on multi-day trips where fuel is rationed and hot water is otherwise unavailable. For a cool rinse after a long day, fill it at dusk and use it immediately.

Controlled Flow, Contoured Spray

The showerhead uses a simple twist mechanism to turn flow on and off and to adjust volume, with no separate valves or tools required. Graduated apertures across the contoured head distribute water evenly rather than concentrating it in a single stream, so the available water covers more surface area per minute. With the head fully open, the 10-liter capacity lasts roughly 8 minutes, which is enough for a thorough rinse when water is used deliberately.

Packable Enough to Always Bring

At 120 g, the Pocket Shower adds negligible weight to a pack or vehicle kit. It zips into its own small pouch for storage and transport, protecting the showerhead from snags. When a shower isn't needed, the roll-top closure and fully taped seams let it function as a standard dry sack, so it earns its place in the kit even on trips where a shower never happens. Two bar-tack attached Delrin D-rings on the roll-top accept the included 6-meter cord for hanging from a branch, rack, or any overhead anchor.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Pocket Shower suits backpackers, car campers, and overlanders who want a lightweight, packable way to rinse off at base camp using solar-warmed or cool water, without carrying a dedicated camp shower system. It also works as a secondary dry sack when a shower isn't needed on a given trip.

The Pocket Shower is not designed for use with an inline gravity water filter; attaching a gravity filter hose requires frequently removing the showerhead, which the design does not support.

Common Questions

Does the Pocket Shower also work as a dry sack?

The Sea to Summit Pocket Shower functions as a dry sack when not in use as a shower. The roll-top closure and fully taped 70D nylon seams seal out water the same way a standard dry sack does, so it can protect gear inside a pack. The showerhead at the base could also act as a purge valve. Sea to Summit recommends storing it inside a backpack to protect the showerhead from damage.

How do I hang the Pocket Shower?

The Pocket Shower includes 6 meters (20 feet) of nylon cord attached to two bar-tack reinforced Delrin D-rings on the roll-top closure. Thread the cord over a tree branch, roof rack crossbar, or any overhead anchor rated to hold a filled 10-liter bag, then adjust the hang height before opening the showerhead twist valve.

Can I use an inline gravity water filter with the Pocket Shower?

The Pocket Shower is not designed for inline gravity filter use. Connecting a gravity filter hose to the showerhead would require removing the showerhead repeatedly, which the design does not support. For a combined water-storage and shower solution that accommodates filtration setups, Sea to Summit makes the Watercell X as an alternative.
