i've tried a few and settled on this setup. I like it but wondering if anyone has a better system to rinse off post session:

You can build your own with a 5 gallon container, freshwater self priming pump, and nozzle.

I used to work for Nemo. I still use my original sales sample of the Helio shower that I got back in June of 2012 and since then it's had a LOT of milage, but it's still going strong.
Nemo is known for their inflatable tent technology (same tech as LE in our kites), so they took some of that tech and made the best travel solar-shower available. You should be very happy with this shower and you'll find many uses for it outside of kiting. Enjoy!

served me well and you need at least 5G to get yourself and your equipment clean. Dont go smaller than that. Additionally it warms up quite nicely and has a nozzle. All things you will learn to appreciate.

The best was showering with that thing after a week in the desert - priceless.

I used to use the solar shower from REI but it would leak so I started using the spray bottle. My first version was parts I bought from Home Depot and sprayed it black but I was able to ordeer black bottle and shower heads, which heats up nicely in the sun. It looks similar to this, http://www.duckworksbbs.com/gear/shower/

i've been using various cheap solar shower bags for years. the best one so far has been one with a clear front and black back from REI. it can get scalding hot on a car dashboard on a summer day at sherman.

also have used a 5 gallon plant sprayer from orchard supply. saw someone with one that had a neoprene cover to keep it warm. pay a little extra for one with a brass nozzle. great for rinsing gear and self.

the ones with battery powered pumps are pretty lame. very low water pressure.

I have used the REI bags for the long time but they always leaked after couple of months. It was great for the gravity feed when I used my truck but my Prius was too short and I had to squat to make it work.
