We’ve used the solar bags a few times, and yes, they do work, but not amazingly. In order for the water to get warm enough for a shower, you need at least a 20 degree day with lots of sunshine. Obviously the hotter the ambient temperature the warmer they will get. Anything around 30 degrees warms them up really well.
How long does it take a solar shower to heat up?
All camp showers heat up the same way: You fill them with water and you lay them in the sun. So you need sun, and having a warm day helps. We found that nearly all the showers got up to around 100 to 105 degrees after about three hours in direct sunlight on an 80-degree afternoon.
How hot do solar shower bags get?
SMART HEAT ABSORBING DESIGN – The SMART PVC material can efficiently absorb the solar energy to heat up the water inside the bag. It heats water to 113°F (45°C) in 3 hours with direct sunlight.
