The inflation and deflation ability is an impressive design for your needs, may it be for camping, beach adventures, trekking, and many others.Ĭamping showers are a wonderful invention that allows us to freshen up even when we’re in the middle of the woods. With Helio, we can assure you that you can bring this for backpacking. It will be depend on the activity you are going to do, but these kinds of showers require a vehicle to transport it. Other products are usually made with water tanks that cannot be packed smaller which makes the use limited. If you are looking for shower equipment that is possible to carry on your hiking adventures, this might be the answer to your search. And if you take it down for storage, it won’t be a struggle because you can just compress it effortlessly. The body is made with inflatable materials that make it easier to set up and takedown. The first thing that you can perceive in the structure of Helio is its easy to carry features. The end cap was also made to be a bit transparent for you to have a glimpse of the water level inside the tank. Most designs you can see online are the old version of Helio which stands vertically but with the new design, you can see that there is a stable foot at the base and the body is horizontally laid down. As we have mentioned in the Functionality section of this review, this shower comes with a foot pump for pressure and it is also inflatable. You can already use it after you fill the water tank. However, we find the opening to fill the water really small that you need a funnel if you don’t want your water to leak or spill when you pour it but for portability features, this design is only fair and feasible. Unlike other showers, Helio’s storage bag is built-in to its body making it a multifunctional storage bag and water tank at the same time. All you need to do is remove it from the storage bag then you can use it already. You don’t need to provide a lot of effort for the full installation because it has only one compact body. This Helio Pressure Shower we are reviewing right now is the newer version but if we look at the ease of its setup, it does not differ much even from other Nemo’s shower products. We are not sure about this but Nemo didn’t say anything in this aspect and maybe, it is because of the inflatable body however, you can still heat up your water then fill it on its water tank or place the tank under direct sunlight to warm up your water. This shower equipment does not support heating activity. Before, we really thought that there are no other long hoses that can reach more than 6 feet, and then we found Helio. According to them, it is capable of providing this shower action for 5-7 minutes and we can confirm it after our testing.Īnother feature that you need to take down is the 7- foot neoprene hose. Nemo Equipment, the manufacturer of this product, molded this shower to have a constant and strong spray with the use of pressure. We will be talking more about this in the Portability section of this review. What is unique about the water tank’s structure is you can inflate and deflate it to pack it easier. With the pressurized system, you can quickly fill up a 2.9-gallon water tank with the use of a foot pump. But, that didn’t hinder its performance because the amount of pressure provides the force to the release of water on the showerhead. It can hold a huge amount of pressure however, the showerhead is relatively small. When we conducted our testing and observations, we found out that the Nemo Helio has a similar structure to Zodi Outback Gear Extreme SC Hot Water in terms of pressure and showerhead. We tested numerous products and we came up with a list of the best camping showers available in the market today. Lucky for us modern nature enthusiasts, camping showers exist. Staying clean is an important aspect of camping. Let’s further discuss the features and performance of this camping shower based on the following topics: functionality, ease of set-up, portability, durability, and value for money. The whole body structure is easy to set up as it is capable of being inflated and can be deflated when you take it down. With the foot pump feature, it can provide continuous pressure for your shower for 5 to 7 minutes. It can hold up to 2.9 gallons in its water tank and has a 7-foot neoprene hose. Nemo Helio is a portable camping shower at an affordable price.
